<p>If you've been following the BMW <a href="http://www.minispace.com/en_us/projects/electric-mini-e/">MINI E</a> program unveiled officially on November 19th, 2008 at the Los Angeles Auto Show you'll know the process for being selected as a potential MINI E driver is a multistep one.  The window to apply for a lease of a MINI E was from November 19th to December 24th, <b>mic ampicillin</b>, <b>Ampicillin india</b>, 2008, via an hour long online questionnaire, <b>ampicillin trade name</b>.  <b>Ampicillin reconstitution</b>, In January 2009, I was excited to learn I was selected to be one of the potential 250 lessees of the MINI E being deployed in Southern California this year, <b>ampicillin antibiotic resistance</b>.  <b>Synthesis of ampicillin</b>,  Achieving selection status was just one of the first steps to MINI E driving sweetness.  In the past couple of months I've been passing other qualifications, <b>ampicillin degradation</b>.  One of these items on the MINI E deployment checklist regards the residence where one is to park and charge the MINI E, <b>lb ampicillin</b>.  <b>Ampicillin administration</b>,  MINI wants to insure their MINI Es will be parked in an enclosed garage and that the residence's electrical system is up to the task of charging the car.</p>
<p>[caption id="attachment_1914" align="alignleft" width="97" caption="Clipper Creek EV Charge Station."]<a href="http://www.clippercreek.net/"><img class="size-full wp-image-1914" title="clippercreekchargestation" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/clippercreekchargestation.png" alt="Clipper Creek EV Charge Station." width="97" height="106" /></a>[/caption]</p>
<p>Last week I was notified by <a href="http://www.cleanfuelconnection.com/">Clean Fuel Connection</a> (the company contracted by MINI to deploy the MINI E specific <a href="http://www.clippercreek.net/">Clipper Creek</a> charge stations) that they would be conducting an initial site inspection of my garage and electrical service to insure I could support a <a href="http://www.minispace.com/en_us/projects/electric-mini-e/">MINI E</a>, <b>ampicillin dilution</b>.  <b>Bla ampicillin</b>,   On Wednesday, March 11th, <b>ampicillin msds</b>, <b>Molecular weight of ampicillin</b>, 2009, at 1:30pm I met with a very friendly Paul Jette of Sunpower Electrical, <b>pharmacokinetics of ampicillin</b>, <b>Ampicillin spectrum</b>, the electrical contractor assigned to do the actual charge station install.  He inspected and took some photos of my 200Amp main electrical utility panel, <b>ampicillin contraindications</b>, <b>Binotal ampicillin</b>, and the garage space where the Clipper Creek MINI E charge station will be installed.  <b>Lb ampicillin</b>,  A couple of years ago I had upgraded my electrical distribution system when I self-installed a 4kW Photovoltaic system with the knowledge that plug-in EVs would soon be in my driving future. My electrical cleanup resulted in a very neat and sparsely populated main panel, <b>ampicillin uses</b>, <b>Ampicillin brand name</b>, as I offloaded all individual circuits to a couple of subpanels.  A majority of residences' main electrical utility panel is their only panel, <b>ampicillin satellite colonies</b>, <b>Ampicillin synthesis</b>, and many times it is completely stuffed with breakers and wiring, with no room for additional expansion, <b>ampicillin production</b>.  <b>Ampicillin tr 500 mg</b>,  This is a result many times of the initial builder trying to save a few $$ and installing a less expensive panel.  Generally, <b>ampicillin satellite colonies</b>, <b>Ampicillin sensitivity</b>, the cost of the electrical panel is "in the noise" (negligible), where the the majority of the cost of any electrical work is in the labor, <b>stability of ampicillin</b>.</p>

<p>Paul and I discussed the Clipper Creek charge station during his visit, <b>lb ampicillin</b>.  It is to be protected by a 60amp feed breaker installed at the main panel.  Paul confirmed the location I had already selected for mounting of the charge station to be ideal.  I learned I was Paul's 3rd MINI E initial site visit that day.  These were his very first visits in the MINI E deployment program.</p>
<p>While MINI is picking up the tab for any and all electrical work required to install the <a href="http://www.clippercreek.net/">Clipper Creek</a> <b>Lb ampicillin</b>, charge station, being an engineer  I have the desire to install a kilowatt-hour meter ahead of the charge station to log EV charging kW/hrs.  This self-imposed requirement means the charge station install by MINI at my house will be one of their simplest, as they just need to connect the charge station a few feet directly to the pre-installed and wired <a href="http://www.milbankmfg.com/">Milbank</a> kilowatt-hour meter box I'll already have in place.  I'm looking forward to a callback from Clean Fuel Connection once they are ready to send out the Clipper Creek charge station for installation.</p>

<p>Hasner’s electric car tax break gets boost</p>
<p>Posted by Josh Hafenbrack at 9:50 AM 2009.03.10</p>
<p>The Legislature is taking a step toward giving a Sunshine State boost to the next generation of automobiles: electric-powered cars, <b>ampicillin plate</b>.</p>
<p>An effort led by House Majority Leader Adam Hasner, <b>ampicillin msds</b>, <b>Ampicillin antibiotic resistance</b>, R-Boca Raton, to give a sales tax exemption to consumers who buy battery-powered, <b>ampicillin anhydrous</b>, <b>Ampicillin reconstitution</b>, electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids picked up a unanimous endorsement today.</p>
<p>The measure also would set aside 0, <b>sigma ampicillin</b>, <b>Kanamycin ampicillin</b>, 000 to provide incentives to build 100 charging stations throughout the state, since electric cars usually only last from 40 miles to 100 miles between charges, <b>lb broth ampicillin</b>.  <b>Ampicillin oral</b>, Today, electric vehicles and plug-in cars are a niche product, <b>uses for ampicillin</b>.  <b>Ampicillin brand name</b>, There are just 100 plug-ins on the road on Florida.  <b>Ampicillin plate</b>, But the electric car is coming – if a little slowly. The federal Energy Department has  billion to loan to companies to produce a new breed of electric cars, <b>ampicillin solubility</b>.  <b>Ampicillin history</b>, So far, none of the money has been doled out, <b>ampicillin administration</b>, <b>Binotal ampicillin</b>, but 75 companies, including three Detroit auto manufacturers, <b>ampicillin trade name</b>, <b>Ampicillin tr</b>, have submitted applications, according to the New York Times.</p>
<p>The federal stimulus bill also provides a ,500 tax credit for consumers who purchase plug-in vehicles.</p>
<p>One example is the much-publicized Chevy Volt, a plug-in hybrid due out in 2010 that ailing General Motors is staking its future on.  Ford is rolling out an electric four-door sedan in 2011 and Toyota plans to bring an electric car to showrooms in 2012, <b>ampicillin plate</b>.</p>
<p>“This is a chance for Florida to take the lead in the electric car movement,” Hasner said.</p>
<p>The electric car bill (HB879) would exempt sales of electric vehicles from the state’s 6-cent sales tax and provide a ,000 corporate tax credit to companies that have more than 10 electric or plug-in vehicles in their fleets.</p>
<p>In addition, consumers and businesses would be eligible for a ,000 rebate after converting a gasoline-powered vehicle to a plug-in.</p>
<p>As the House Energy and Utilities Committee gave its stamp of approval to the measure, Hasner is planning a showing of “Who Killed the Electric Car?” to legislators tonight at the Tallahassee IMAX theatre. During the fall campaign, Hasner drove a leased 2002 all-electric Toyota RAV-4 throughout his south Palm Beach-Broward county district — when gas was at its -a-gallon peak. “I drove by the gas station with a smile every single day, because I was using an electric car that didn’t use any gas,” he said.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Last Thursday, I flipped on the KTLA 5 news around 10:30pm, while grabbing a late dinner, and caught a <a href="http://www.fiskerautomotive.com/">Fisker Automotive</a> Karma ad...on TV!  I was caught completely and pleasantly by surprise seeing this great ad, as I don't think we've yet seen any other EV/PHEV specific ads from any of the smaller start-ups.

Justifying the cost of TV ads could be difficult, but has the positive effect of alerting the general population - most of which are not closely following the EV movement - to realize EVs/PHEVs are happening.

I was able to find the <a href="http://www.fiskerautomotive.com/">Fisker Automotive</a> Karma ad that ran during the KTLA pre-show
broadcast of the Academy Awards (2009.02.22), <strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJlhcBotQ7w&amp;fmt=18">archived on YouTube</a></strong> for those that have not yet seen it:

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[We have TWO reports from guest bloggers who attended the <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a> in the Wild EVent Thursday night at Smooth's Sports Grille in Long Beach, CA.  Also embedded below is a recent Aptera 2e demo ride video (with founder Steve Fambro) from the <a href="http://www.ted.com/">2009 TED conference</a> (held in Long Beach, CA) recently uploaded by Aptera forum member Josh.

<strong><em>Guest Blogger - Jenean Smith</em></strong>
It was a rainy night but I decided to jump in my car and see the new <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a> in person tonight in Long Beach. None of the usual suspects were there, (no one I recognized at least), which is a good sign that more and more people are interested in EVs. It's a very sleek car indeed and now with front wheel drive -- like something from a Doctor Who episode transported into the future and modernized for 2009.

<strong><em>Guest Blogger - Jim Hannigan</em></strong>
<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/20090205aptera-smooths.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1632 alignright" title="20090205aptera-smooths" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/20090205aptera-smooths.jpg" alt="20090205aptera-smooths" width="298" height="224" /></a>I went by Smooth's on my way home from work. The Aptera was parked in the restaurant's sidewalk seating area that in the winter is roofed over and enclosed with vinyl fabric. 25 or 30 people were there along with another eight or so Aptera employees as identified by their logo shirts. There was no organized presentation while I was there, but the vehicle could be touched, photographed (I only had a cellphone) and at least for a while some were allowed to sit in it.

I was not aware that this was the first time an Aptera had been shown in public. Several of those in attendance excitedly recited their reservation numbers.

I was told the car was a driveable pre-production unit and that some features would be changed. This one had the rear quarter windows and outside mirrors but not the opening door windows shown on the website. Aptera used it for VIP rides at the TED conference earlier in the day (supposedly including Tesla founder Martin Eberhard).

Questions on battery specifics, observed range, powertrain details etc. were all left TBA.

The vehicle is striking in appearance and was very well finished inside and out. The interior, controls and switches all seemed production grade. Exceptions were the A/C air vents which were complex and delicate looking plastic pieces that I was cautioned not to touch.

The car looks small but is dimensionally large; nearly 15 feet long and over 7 feet wide across the outboard front wheels. The aero tail is relatively high but the front looks very low. I was initially surprised at the small size of the manufacturer's license plate on the car until I remembered the Aptera is classed as a motorcycle. I would have liked to have seen the car on the street around other cars for perspective.

The car was powered up to the extent that the flat-panel dash, Nav displays, parking and brake lights worked. I was able to get a few seconds in the driver's seat. The seats were comfortable, but not deeply contoured. Footwells seemed wide, and head and legroom were good. Front visibility was very good, but not so to the rear : the side mirrors were tiny and the rear window presented a small aperture a long way back.

It is far too early for performance claims but Aptera will likely beat Tesla for eventful ingress/egress. I've owned a Lotus for years and got in and out without a problem, but I watched just about everyone else hit their heads either on the "butterfly" doors or on the doorframe or both.

Dear Aptera Family Member,

In our last newsletter we announced that Aptera would be giving 2e test drives to attendees of the TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) conference in Long Beach. We know most of you aren't attending this exclusive event, so when Smooth's, one of Long Beach's premier night spots and sports bars, offered us an opportunity to showcase the vehicle for the rest of our followers, we seized it.

Join us 6:00pm Thursday night, Feb. 5, at Smooth's to see the vehicle in person and meet other Aptera fans. We know that this is last-minute, but we want you to know about any opportunity to see the Aptera in a public setting.

When:  6pm to 9pm Thursday, February 5, 2009
Location:  Smooth's Sports Grille, 144 Pine Avenue, Long Beach, CA 90802

Thank you,

The Aptera Team - <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera Motors</a> 2009]]></content:encoded>

Regular readers of this blog will know all about Plug in America's triumphant Inaugural EV Parade West in Santa Monica, CA a few weeks back.   Now here's a chance to enjoy some video from the event.

A final count of 77 electric vehicles and over 250 people participated in the rally and subsequent parade. All types of electric vehicles drove quietly and emission free in formation for a few miles through city streets. Plug In America's dedicated volunteers worked their magic during the few weeks leading up to this latest EVent to organize a very successful and historic green parade. EV grins were everywhere and the enthusiasm for plug-ins couldn't have been greater. Plug In America's Inaugural EV Parade West rates as one of the best plug-in EVents to date.

Click play on the below 38 minute video of Plug In America's Inaugural EV Parade West to watch 26 minutes of rally speeches and experience the parade festivities.  Thanks to <a href="http://www.viddler.com">Viddler</a>'s great contextual timeline tagging feature, you can easily skip to any speaker or portion of the video without delay.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The talented <a href="http://www.myspace.com/kristenlreeves">Kristen Reeves</a> produced this wonderful video segment on <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com">AC Propulsion</a> and their world class electric vehicle drive technology.  For the past 3 years AC Propulsion has been converting gasoline Scion xBs to 100% electric drive with their phenomenal <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/tzero/index.php">AC150gen2 electric drive system</a>.  In her video, Kristen interviews AC Propulsion President &amp; CEO Tom Gage, and legendary actor/director and longtime EV enthusiast <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000158/">Tom Hanks</a>.  Mr. Hanks purchased the very first consumer <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/ebox/index.php">eBox</a> back in 2006 and uses it as his primary vehicle for all SoCal commuting.

Kristen writes:  "Imagine taking the car you drive now, and never having to stop at a gas station ever again. AC Propulsion, has been converting gas-fueled cars to electric for two decades.  This is a piece profiling AC Propulsion's car, the <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/ebox/index.php">eBox</a>, with a special interview with Tom Hanks who owns one of these cars.  Is this the way of the future?"

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Sacramento's <a href="http://www.news10.net/">News 10</a> reports on the electric cars of <a href="http://www.ci.vacaville.ca.us/">Vacaville, CA</a>.  In 2003 Vacaville, also known as <a href="http://www.fleetmag.com/print/Fleet-Maintenance/Welcome-to-Voltageville/109">Voltageville</a>, was miles ahead of other cities with over 100 electric cars on the road in both <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">GM EV1</a>s and <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">Toyota RAV4-EV</a>s.  The California Air Resources Board's <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2008.03.26PIArallyCARB/2008.03.26PIArallyCARB.html">1990 Zero Emissions Vehicle mandate</a> would have required 10% of all vehicles sold in California to be zero emissions.  But the <a href="http://www.arb.ca.gov">CARB</a> ZEV mandate was rescinded in 2003 due to pressure from the automakers.  It resulted in the confiscation of the majority of EVs which had only been available under lease.

In the <a href="http://www.news10.net/">News 10</a> segment <a href="http://www.evworld.com/article.cfm?storyid=152">Ed Huestis, Vacaville's Transportation Manager</a>, comments:  "Once you've driven an electric vehicle, you never want to go back to gasoline...you just don't."  Former GM EV1 owner Jerry Hobrecht and Toyota RAV4-EV owner <a href="http://www.evnut.com/">Darell Dickey</a> are also interviewed expressing their immense enthusiasm for electric drive.

Now, every major automaker is scrambling to produce an electric vehicle.  Watch the <a href="http://www.news10.net/video/default.aspx?playerId=newsmaker&amp;maven_playlistId=63762cfa11fe40643571b0d28136516c002a19f3&amp;maven_referrer=mrss&amp;maven_referralPlaylistId=63762cfa11fe40643571b0d28136516c002a19f3&amp;maven_referralObject=941648966">News 10 report</a> after the jump to learn why "No city is more ready for the return of the electric car than <a href="http://www.ci.vacaville.ca.us/">Vacaville, CA</a>."

This summer Swiss visionary <span><a href="http://www.louispalmer.ch/">Louis Palmer</a></span> and his friendly team made several stops in Southern California on their global whirlwind tour with their spectacular <a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/">Solartaxi Electric Vehicle</a>.  One of the stops was at <a href="http://www.avinc.com/chargingsystems.asp">AeroVironment</a> in Simi Valley.

[caption id="attachment_621" align="alignleft" width="200" caption="Solartaxi parked at AeroVironment - Simi Valley, CA."]<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxiav_dsc_1841.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-621" title="solartaxiav_dsc_1841" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxiav_dsc_1841-200x200.jpg" alt="Solartaxi parked at AeroVironment - Simi Valley, CA." width="200" height="200" /></a>[/caption]

The Solartaxi is a realization of one of Louis' childhood dreams : to drive a zero emissions solar powered electric car around the world. He wants to show people that solutions already exist to resolve the Global Warming crisis.  <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/mission/">Click here to read Solartaxi's mission statement</a></span>.

[caption id="attachment_632" align="alignright" width="200" caption="Solartaxi&#39;s Louis Palmer with Paul Scott on a test drive."]<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-632" title="solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902-200x200.jpg" alt="Solartaxi's Louis Palmer with PIA's Paul Scott on a test drive." width="200" height="200" /></a>[/caption]

Towards this end, the Solartaxi is a promotional vehicle and not one that is suggested we all be driving. The <span><a href="http://www.q-cells.com/">Q-Cell solar panels</a></span> mounted on the trailer towed behind the Solartaxi provide 50% of the electricity required for the journey. They're mainly along for the ride to demonstrate that photovoltaic solar technology is real and available today. They also help to ensure the vehicle can keep traveling even in remote sections of the world should they fail to find a plug for recharging.  The other 50% of the electricity required for the journey is obtained by plugging into the electrical grid en route.  In Switzerland, the Solartaxi team has created a stationary solar array to feed green power into the (global) electrical grid. <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/technology/energy-concept/">Solartaxi just extracts that greenly produced electrical energy from the grid while touring the world</a></span>. We should all support the installation of rooftop mounted PV solar to power our homes and our near-future plug-in electric vehicles.

Solartaxi has two Swiss made 14kwhr <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/technology/zebra-battery/">Zebra batteries</a></span> which are a <span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten_salt_battery">molten-salt type battery</a></span> that has an operating temperature window of 270-350degC (518-662degF). The battery is insulated in a thermos-style package to minimize heat loss and has a life of about 1000 charging cycles. Zebra batteries have an energy density of around 90Whr/kg. Solartaxi has one of these Zebra batteries in the car portion and a second is located along the axle of the photovoltaic solar panel trailer.  That gives a cummulative energy storage capacity of 28kWhrs. The Solartaxi electric drive motor powering the single rear wheel is rated at a peak of 13kW.  The Q-Cells PV solar modules produce upwards of 600 watts. To recharge the batteries solely from the rear trailer would take about 4 days.

After admiring and discussing the Solartaxi for almost an hour, Solartaxi Tour Director Louis Palmer gave a fantastic 40 minute PowerPoint presentation on his mission and adventures.   As of this summer's SoCal visit, Louis had traveled two thirds of his journey around the world. The presentation was followed by an enthusiastic EV technology discussion along with real test drives of the Solartaxi - viewable in the video below.

<em><strong>Friday November 14th, 2008 - GM Training Center - Burbank, CA</strong></em>

<strong><em> <span style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">The Honorable Nate Holden, former California State Senator and L.A. City Council Member, held a press conference demanding General Motors apologize to the American people for destroying the automaker's <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">EV1</a></span> plug-in electric vehicle.  Mr. Holden demanded the EV1's immediate re-introduction before, or in exchange for, any Government bailout of GM. </span></em></strong>

“General Motors compounded their financial woes by destroying the <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">EV1</a></span> and continued to work with the oil companies to gouge the public. It's a dishonest act on the part of General Motors.” said Holden.

This press conference was held at the very same GM facility where the <span><a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/saveev1.htm">EV1 Vigil</a></span> took place during February and March 2005. Loyal <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">GM EV1</a></span> customers tried valiantly to save 78 remaining EV1s from being <span><a href="http://www.evnut.com/ev1_crushed.htm">crushed</a></span>. Activists kept a 24/7 watch over the vehicles and offered to buy the EV1s from GM for their residual value. <span><a href="http://www.alexandrapaul.com/">Alexandra Paul</a></span> and <span><a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1665635/">Colette Divine</a></span> were arrested while peacefully protesting and making a stand against an EV1 filled GM transport semi attempting to exit the facility.   Chris Paine's film <span>"<a href="http://www.whokilledthelectricar.com">Who Killed the Electric Car ?</a>"</span> documented the <span><a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/saveev1.htm">EV1 Vigil</a></span>. Former EV1 drivers Doug Korthof and Chris Reeves attended and spoke at Holden's press conference, having each arrived in their respective plug-in EVs (<span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">2002 Toyota RAV4-EV</a></span> and <span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevy_S-10_EV">1997 GM Chevy S10 EV</a></span>).

Alex Datig (Business &amp; Public Affairs Consultant, <span><a href="http://www.highroadla.com/">HighRoad Consulting Group LLC</a></span>) let us know that Mr. Holden had a fruitful day getting the EV1 word out.  After the press conference at the GM Training Center Mr Holden went to City Hall to conduct more interviews and to speak to elected officials. He sent the story to <span><a href="http://www.kfwb.com/">KFWB News 980</a></span> and to President-elect Barack Obama.  Mr Holden had the following words for the loyal supporters of the EV1 :

"I want to thank the EV1 family for their support and encouragement for me to continue the fight to hold General Motors and other auto manufacturers' feet to the fire. As you know, today I strongly urge Congress to withhold any bailout funds from the auto industry, unless and until the industry agrees to mass-produce fuel efficiency automobiles; electric cars.

Congress should not, under any circumstances, release the bailout money to automobile manufacturers without making these demands. Without these demands, the automobile manufacturers will just continue with "business as usual," manufacturing gas-guzzlers, which would increase our dependency on the middle-east oil producing countries. This dependency must end now!

We are the advocates of the electric car family and must continue our fight to save the electric car. We must not allow Congress to backslide, or "bait and switch." At the very least, members of the electric car family demand that the conditions that were incorporated in the funding legislation of the  Billion loan package of September 2008 be adhered to.

I respectfully urge each member of the electric car family to contact Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of the United States Senate, Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and each of your local members of Congress, to let them know that any deviation on their part from the conditions of the loan approved in September will not be tolerated.

Lets keep the pressure on!"

Nate Holden
California State Senate, ret.
Los Angeles City Council, ret.

Hon. Nate Holden's next press conference on the EV1 will be held on Wednesday, November 19, 2008 at 10:00 AM at the <span><a href="http://www.laautoshow.com/">LA Auto Show</a></span> (<span><a href="http://www.lacclink.com/">LA Convention Center</a></span> - Pavilion adjacent to West Entrance).

The party was totally sold out: 250 guests and two superb electric vehicle rockstars - GM's newly released preproduction prototype <a href="http://www.chevrolet.com/electriccar/">Chevy Volt</a> and a silver <a href="http://www.teslamotors.com/">Tesla Roadster</a>. Due to parking limitations, valet parking was provided and guests were shuttled to the venue in several <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">Toyota RAV4-EVs</a> and a couple of very quick and spacious <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/acpropulsion/eBox/ebox_index.html">AC Propulsion eBoxes</a>. Chris Paine's film crew was in attendance filming the EVent.

But the speeches were the real highlight of the evening, delivered from a roof top overlooking the partygoers.  Host <a href="http://www.papercutfilms.com/about/#chris">Chris Paine</a> discussed his recent trip to Detroit for the pre-production GM Chevy Volt unveiling and describing how surreal it was to have the Chevy Volt parked in his backyard for this memorable party. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelsea_Sexton">Chelsea Sexton</a> followed with another eloquent summary of Plug In America's humble grassroots beginnings.   Plug In America's president <a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/about-us/our-team.html">Linda Nicholes</a> and board member <a href="http://www.alexandrapaul.com/">Alexandra Paul</a> gave a surprise thank you to two dedicated PIA volunteers. Renowned auto journalist <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/writers/dan-neil">Dan Neil</a> of the LA Times delivered a rave review of the GM Chevy Volt - and some of his trademark wit. And lastly, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Woolsey">James Woolsey</a> summarized the vital national security requirement for our nation to embrace, develop, and deploy plug-in electric vehicles.

The party also featured a silent auction for green and EV related items, including a <a href="http://www.duffyboats.com/">Duffy Electric Boat</a> rental, a <a href="http://www.zeromotorcycles.com/">2009 Zero X Electric Motorcycle</a>, and a beautiful blue <a href="http://www.vectrixusa.com/">2008 Vectrix Electric Maxi-Scooter</a> (from <a href="http://www.delamo-motorsports.com/">Delamo Motorsports</a> in Redondo Beach). <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/vectrix/ElectricMaxi-Scooter/2007.03.16VectrixDemo/VectrixDemo.html">Click here to see my Vectrix Electric Maxi-Scooter</a> coverage from March 2007.

Thanks go out to Plug In America Managing Director Jeanne Trombly, event organizer Nicole Landers, sustainability champion and solar chef extraordinaire <a href="http://action.pluginamerica.org/blastContent.jsp?email_blast_KEY=1119095&amp;t=#article4">Cathy Lam</a>, and all the other volunteers who made Plug In America's first fundraiser such a success!

One of our favorite guests from our shoot in Iceland, Bill Dube and his <a href="http://www.killacycle.com/">KillaCycle</a> Team, made headlines this past week in Colorado with a new EV world speed record.

On Thursday October 23rd, 2008, Team <a href="http://www.killacycle.com/">KillaCycle</a> set their latest drag racing world record at <a href="http://www.bandimere.com/">Bandimere Raceway</a>. Rider Scotty Pollacheck piloted the wickedly fast all electric <a href="http://www.a123systems.com/">A123Systems</a> NanoPhosphate battery powered motorcycle down the quarter mile in only 7.89 seconds, ending with a top speed of 168 MPH.

Scotty's run qualifies as a new official <a href="http://www.nedra.com/">NEDRA</a> (National Electric Drag Racing Association) record, vaulting the KillaCycle into the history books as the world's quickest quarter mile electric vehicle of any kind.

The KillaCycle's A123Systems battery pack is comprised of 1,210 type <a href="http://www.a123systems.com/#/products/p1">ANR26650M1</a> cells arranged to deliver 375 VDC. The motorcycle's Hi-Torque Electric motor was adjusted to draw 1850 amps for this particular run.

<p>Last week I was notified by <a href="http://www.cleanfuelconnection.com/">Clean Fuel Connection</a> (the company contracted by MINI to deploy the MINI E specific <a href="http://www.clippercreek.net/">Clipper Creek</a> charge stations) that they would be conducting an initial site inspection of my garage and electrical service to insure I could support a <a href="http://www.minispace.com/en_us/projects/electric-mini-e/">MINI E</a>, <b>ampicillin dilution</b>.  <b>Bla ampicillin</b>,   On Wednesday, March 11th, <b>ampicillin msds</b>, <b>Molecular weight of ampicillin</b>, 2009, at 1:30pm I met with a very friendly Paul Jette of Sunpower Electrical, <b>pharmacokinetics of ampicillin</b>, <b>Ampicillin spectrum</b>, the electrical contractor assigned to do the actual charge station install.  He inspected and took some photos of my 200Amp main electrical utility panel, <b>ampicillin contraindications</b>, <b>Binotal ampicillin</b>, and the garage space where the Clipper Creek MINI E charge station will be installed.  <b>Lb ampicillin</b>,  A couple of years ago I had upgraded my electrical distribution system when I self-installed a 4kW Photovoltaic system with the knowledge that plug-in EVs would soon be in my driving future. My electrical cleanup resulted in a very neat and sparsely populated main panel, <b>ampicillin uses</b>, <b>Ampicillin brand name</b>, as I offloaded all individual circuits to a couple of subpanels.  A majority of residences' main electrical utility panel is their only panel, <b>ampicillin satellite colonies</b>, <b>Ampicillin synthesis</b>, and many times it is completely stuffed with breakers and wiring, with no room for additional expansion, <b>ampicillin production</b>.  <b>Ampicillin tr 500 mg</b>,  This is a result many times of the initial builder trying to save a few $$ and installing a less expensive panel.  Generally, <b>ampicillin satellite colonies</b>, <b>Ampicillin sensitivity</b>, the cost of the electrical panel is "in the noise" (negligible), where the the majority of the cost of any electrical work is in the labor, <b>stability of ampicillin</b>.</p>

<p>Paul and I discussed the Clipper Creek charge station during his visit, <b>lb ampicillin</b>.  It is to be protected by a 60amp feed breaker installed at the main panel.  Paul confirmed the location I had already selected for mounting of the charge station to be ideal.  I learned I was Paul's 3rd MINI E initial site visit that day.  These were his very first visits in the MINI E deployment program.</p>
<p>While MINI is picking up the tab for any and all electrical work required to install the <a href="http://www.clippercreek.net/">Clipper Creek</a> <b>Lb ampicillin</b>, charge station, being an engineer  I have the desire to install a kilowatt-hour meter ahead of the charge station to log EV charging kW/hrs.  This self-imposed requirement means the charge station install by MINI at my house will be one of their simplest, as they just need to connect the charge station a few feet directly to the pre-installed and wired <a href="http://www.milbankmfg.com/">Milbank</a> kilowatt-hour meter box I'll already have in place.  I'm looking forward to a callback from Clean Fuel Connection once they are ready to send out the Clipper Creek charge station for installation.</p>

<p>An effort led by House Majority Leader Adam Hasner, <b>ampicillin msds</b>, <b>Ampicillin antibiotic resistance</b>, R-Boca Raton, to give a sales tax exemption to consumers who buy battery-powered, <b>ampicillin anhydrous</b>, <b>Ampicillin reconstitution</b>, electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids picked up a unanimous endorsement today.</p>
<p>The measure also would set aside 0, <b>sigma ampicillin</b>, <b>Kanamycin ampicillin</b>, 000 to provide incentives to build 100 charging stations throughout the state, since electric cars usually only last from 40 miles to 100 miles between charges, <b>lb broth ampicillin</b>.  <b>Ampicillin oral</b>, Today, electric vehicles and plug-in cars are a niche product, <b>uses for ampicillin</b>.  <b>Ampicillin brand name</b>, There are just 100 plug-ins on the road on Florida.  <b>Ampicillin plate</b>, But the electric car is coming – if a little slowly. The federal Energy Department has  billion to loan to companies to produce a new breed of electric cars, <b>ampicillin solubility</b>.  <b>Ampicillin history</b>, So far, none of the money has been doled out, <b>ampicillin administration</b>, <b>Binotal ampicillin</b>, but 75 companies, including three Detroit auto manufacturers, <b>ampicillin trade name</b>, <b>Ampicillin tr</b>, have submitted applications, according to the New York Times.</p>
<p>The federal stimulus bill also provides a ,500 tax credit for consumers who purchase plug-in vehicles.</p>
<p>One example is the much-publicized Chevy Volt, a plug-in hybrid due out in 2010 that ailing General Motors is staking its future on.  Ford is rolling out an electric four-door sedan in 2011 and Toyota plans to bring an electric car to showrooms in 2012, <b>ampicillin plate</b>.</p>
<p>“This is a chance for Florida to take the lead in the electric car movement,” Hasner said.</p>
<p>The electric car bill (HB879) would exempt sales of electric vehicles from the state’s 6-cent sales tax and provide a ,000 corporate tax credit to companies that have more than 10 electric or plug-in vehicles in their fleets.</p>
<p>In addition, consumers and businesses would be eligible for a ,000 rebate after converting a gasoline-powered vehicle to a plug-in.</p>
<p>As the House Energy and Utilities Committee gave its stamp of approval to the measure, Hasner is planning a showing of “Who Killed the Electric Car?” to legislators tonight at the Tallahassee IMAX theatre. During the fall campaign, Hasner drove a leased 2002 all-electric Toyota RAV-4 throughout his south Palm Beach-Broward county district — when gas was at its -a-gallon peak. “I drove by the gas station with a smile every single day, because I was using an electric car that didn’t use any gas,” he said.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Last Thursday, I flipped on the KTLA 5 news around 10:30pm, while grabbing a late dinner, and caught a <a href="http://www.fiskerautomotive.com/">Fisker Automotive</a> Karma ad...on TV!  I was caught completely and pleasantly by surprise seeing this great ad, as I don't think we've yet seen any other EV/PHEV specific ads from any of the smaller start-ups.

Justifying the cost of TV ads could be difficult, but has the positive effect of alerting the general population - most of which are not closely following the EV movement - to realize EVs/PHEVs are happening.

I was able to find the <a href="http://www.fiskerautomotive.com/">Fisker Automotive</a> Karma ad that ran during the KTLA pre-show
broadcast of the Academy Awards (2009.02.22), <strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJlhcBotQ7w&amp;fmt=18">archived on YouTube</a></strong> for those that have not yet seen it:

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[We have TWO reports from guest bloggers who attended the <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a> in the Wild EVent Thursday night at Smooth's Sports Grille in Long Beach, CA.  Also embedded below is a recent Aptera 2e demo ride video (with founder Steve Fambro) from the <a href="http://www.ted.com/">2009 TED conference</a> (held in Long Beach, CA) recently uploaded by Aptera forum member Josh.

<strong><em>Guest Blogger - Jenean Smith</em></strong>
It was a rainy night but I decided to jump in my car and see the new <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a> in person tonight in Long Beach. None of the usual suspects were there, (no one I recognized at least), which is a good sign that more and more people are interested in EVs. It's a very sleek car indeed and now with front wheel drive -- like something from a Doctor Who episode transported into the future and modernized for 2009.

<strong><em>Guest Blogger - Jim Hannigan</em></strong>
<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/20090205aptera-smooths.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1632 alignright" title="20090205aptera-smooths" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/20090205aptera-smooths.jpg" alt="20090205aptera-smooths" width="298" height="224" /></a>I went by Smooth's on my way home from work. The Aptera was parked in the restaurant's sidewalk seating area that in the winter is roofed over and enclosed with vinyl fabric. 25 or 30 people were there along with another eight or so Aptera employees as identified by their logo shirts. There was no organized presentation while I was there, but the vehicle could be touched, photographed (I only had a cellphone) and at least for a while some were allowed to sit in it.

I was not aware that this was the first time an Aptera had been shown in public. Several of those in attendance excitedly recited their reservation numbers.

I was told the car was a driveable pre-production unit and that some features would be changed. This one had the rear quarter windows and outside mirrors but not the opening door windows shown on the website. Aptera used it for VIP rides at the TED conference earlier in the day (supposedly including Tesla founder Martin Eberhard).

Questions on battery specifics, observed range, powertrain details etc. were all left TBA.

The vehicle is striking in appearance and was very well finished inside and out. The interior, controls and switches all seemed production grade. Exceptions were the A/C air vents which were complex and delicate looking plastic pieces that I was cautioned not to touch.

The car looks small but is dimensionally large; nearly 15 feet long and over 7 feet wide across the outboard front wheels. The aero tail is relatively high but the front looks very low. I was initially surprised at the small size of the manufacturer's license plate on the car until I remembered the Aptera is classed as a motorcycle. I would have liked to have seen the car on the street around other cars for perspective.

The car was powered up to the extent that the flat-panel dash, Nav displays, parking and brake lights worked. I was able to get a few seconds in the driver's seat. The seats were comfortable, but not deeply contoured. Footwells seemed wide, and head and legroom were good. Front visibility was very good, but not so to the rear : the side mirrors were tiny and the rear window presented a small aperture a long way back.

It is far too early for performance claims but Aptera will likely beat Tesla for eventful ingress/egress. I've owned a Lotus for years and got in and out without a problem, but I watched just about everyone else hit their heads either on the "butterfly" doors or on the doorframe or both.

From: <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a>
Subject: Aptera in the Wild

Dear Aptera Family Member,

In our last newsletter we announced that Aptera would be giving 2e test drives to attendees of the TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) conference in Long Beach. We know most of you aren't attending this exclusive event, so when Smooth's, one of Long Beach's premier night spots and sports bars, offered us an opportunity to showcase the vehicle for the rest of our followers, we seized it.

Join us 6:00pm Thursday night, Feb. 5, at Smooth's to see the vehicle in person and meet other Aptera fans. We know that this is last-minute, but we want you to know about any opportunity to see the Aptera in a public setting.

When:  6pm to 9pm Thursday, February 5, 2009
Location:  Smooth's Sports Grille, 144 Pine Avenue, Long Beach, CA 90802

Thank you,

The Aptera Team - <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera Motors</a> 2009]]></content:encoded>

Regular readers of this blog will know all about Plug in America's triumphant Inaugural EV Parade West in Santa Monica, CA a few weeks back.   Now here's a chance to enjoy some video from the event.

A final count of 77 electric vehicles and over 250 people participated in the rally and subsequent parade. All types of electric vehicles drove quietly and emission free in formation for a few miles through city streets. Plug In America's dedicated volunteers worked their magic during the few weeks leading up to this latest EVent to organize a very successful and historic green parade. EV grins were everywhere and the enthusiasm for plug-ins couldn't have been greater. Plug In America's Inaugural EV Parade West rates as one of the best plug-in EVents to date.

Click play on the below 38 minute video of Plug In America's Inaugural EV Parade West to watch 26 minutes of rally speeches and experience the parade festivities.  Thanks to <a href="http://www.viddler.com">Viddler</a>'s great contextual timeline tagging feature, you can easily skip to any speaker or portion of the video without delay.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The talented <a href="http://www.myspace.com/kristenlreeves">Kristen Reeves</a> produced this wonderful video segment on <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com">AC Propulsion</a> and their world class electric vehicle drive technology.  For the past 3 years AC Propulsion has been converting gasoline Scion xBs to 100% electric drive with their phenomenal <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/tzero/index.php">AC150gen2 electric drive system</a>.  In her video, Kristen interviews AC Propulsion President &amp; CEO Tom Gage, and legendary actor/director and longtime EV enthusiast <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000158/">Tom Hanks</a>.  Mr. Hanks purchased the very first consumer <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/ebox/index.php">eBox</a> back in 2006 and uses it as his primary vehicle for all SoCal commuting.

Kristen writes:  "Imagine taking the car you drive now, and never having to stop at a gas station ever again. AC Propulsion, has been converting gas-fueled cars to electric for two decades.  This is a piece profiling AC Propulsion's car, the <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/ebox/index.php">eBox</a>, with a special interview with Tom Hanks who owns one of these cars.  Is this the way of the future?"

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Sacramento's <a href="http://www.news10.net/">News 10</a> reports on the electric cars of <a href="http://www.ci.vacaville.ca.us/">Vacaville, CA</a>.  In 2003 Vacaville, also known as <a href="http://www.fleetmag.com/print/Fleet-Maintenance/Welcome-to-Voltageville/109">Voltageville</a>, was miles ahead of other cities with over 100 electric cars on the road in both <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">GM EV1</a>s and <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">Toyota RAV4-EV</a>s.  The California Air Resources Board's <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2008.03.26PIArallyCARB/2008.03.26PIArallyCARB.html">1990 Zero Emissions Vehicle mandate</a> would have required 10% of all vehicles sold in California to be zero emissions.  But the <a href="http://www.arb.ca.gov">CARB</a> ZEV mandate was rescinded in 2003 due to pressure from the automakers.  It resulted in the confiscation of the majority of EVs which had only been available under lease.

In the <a href="http://www.news10.net/">News 10</a> segment <a href="http://www.evworld.com/article.cfm?storyid=152">Ed Huestis, Vacaville's Transportation Manager</a>, comments:  "Once you've driven an electric vehicle, you never want to go back to gasoline...you just don't."  Former GM EV1 owner Jerry Hobrecht and Toyota RAV4-EV owner <a href="http://www.evnut.com/">Darell Dickey</a> are also interviewed expressing their immense enthusiasm for electric drive.

Now, every major automaker is scrambling to produce an electric vehicle.  Watch the <a href="http://www.news10.net/video/default.aspx?playerId=newsmaker&amp;maven_playlistId=63762cfa11fe40643571b0d28136516c002a19f3&amp;maven_referrer=mrss&amp;maven_referralPlaylistId=63762cfa11fe40643571b0d28136516c002a19f3&amp;maven_referralObject=941648966">News 10 report</a> after the jump to learn why "No city is more ready for the return of the electric car than <a href="http://www.ci.vacaville.ca.us/">Vacaville, CA</a>."

This summer Swiss visionary <span><a href="http://www.louispalmer.ch/">Louis Palmer</a></span> and his friendly team made several stops in Southern California on their global whirlwind tour with their spectacular <a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/">Solartaxi Electric Vehicle</a>.  One of the stops was at <a href="http://www.avinc.com/chargingsystems.asp">AeroVironment</a> in Simi Valley.

[caption id="attachment_621" align="alignleft" width="200" caption="Solartaxi parked at AeroVironment - Simi Valley, CA."]<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxiav_dsc_1841.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-621" title="solartaxiav_dsc_1841" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxiav_dsc_1841-200x200.jpg" alt="Solartaxi parked at AeroVironment - Simi Valley, CA." width="200" height="200" /></a>[/caption]

The Solartaxi is a realization of one of Louis' childhood dreams : to drive a zero emissions solar powered electric car around the world. He wants to show people that solutions already exist to resolve the Global Warming crisis.  <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/mission/">Click here to read Solartaxi's mission statement</a></span>.

[caption id="attachment_632" align="alignright" width="200" caption="Solartaxi&#39;s Louis Palmer with Paul Scott on a test drive."]<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-632" title="solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902-200x200.jpg" alt="Solartaxi's Louis Palmer with PIA's Paul Scott on a test drive." width="200" height="200" /></a>[/caption]

Towards this end, the Solartaxi is a promotional vehicle and not one that is suggested we all be driving. The <span><a href="http://www.q-cells.com/">Q-Cell solar panels</a></span> mounted on the trailer towed behind the Solartaxi provide 50% of the electricity required for the journey. They're mainly along for the ride to demonstrate that photovoltaic solar technology is real and available today. They also help to ensure the vehicle can keep traveling even in remote sections of the world should they fail to find a plug for recharging.  The other 50% of the electricity required for the journey is obtained by plugging into the electrical grid en route.  In Switzerland, the Solartaxi team has created a stationary solar array to feed green power into the (global) electrical grid. <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/technology/energy-concept/">Solartaxi just extracts that greenly produced electrical energy from the grid while touring the world</a></span>. We should all support the installation of rooftop mounted PV solar to power our homes and our near-future plug-in electric vehicles.

Solartaxi has two Swiss made 14kwhr <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/technology/zebra-battery/">Zebra batteries</a></span> which are a <span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten_salt_battery">molten-salt type battery</a></span> that has an operating temperature window of 270-350degC (518-662degF). The battery is insulated in a thermos-style package to minimize heat loss and has a life of about 1000 charging cycles. Zebra batteries have an energy density of around 90Whr/kg. Solartaxi has one of these Zebra batteries in the car portion and a second is located along the axle of the photovoltaic solar panel trailer.  That gives a cummulative energy storage capacity of 28kWhrs. The Solartaxi electric drive motor powering the single rear wheel is rated at a peak of 13kW.  The Q-Cells PV solar modules produce upwards of 600 watts. To recharge the batteries solely from the rear trailer would take about 4 days.

After admiring and discussing the Solartaxi for almost an hour, Solartaxi Tour Director Louis Palmer gave a fantastic 40 minute PowerPoint presentation on his mission and adventures.   As of this summer's SoCal visit, Louis had traveled two thirds of his journey around the world. The presentation was followed by an enthusiastic EV technology discussion along with real test drives of the Solartaxi - viewable in the video below.

<em><strong>Friday November 14th, 2008 - GM Training Center - Burbank, CA</strong></em>

<strong><em> <span style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">The Honorable Nate Holden, former California State Senator and L.A. City Council Member, held a press conference demanding General Motors apologize to the American people for destroying the automaker's <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">EV1</a></span> plug-in electric vehicle.  Mr. Holden demanded the EV1's immediate re-introduction before, or in exchange for, any Government bailout of GM. </span></em></strong>

“General Motors compounded their financial woes by destroying the <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">EV1</a></span> and continued to work with the oil companies to gouge the public. It's a dishonest act on the part of General Motors.” said Holden.

This press conference was held at the very same GM facility where the <span><a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/saveev1.htm">EV1 Vigil</a></span> took place during February and March 2005. Loyal <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">GM EV1</a></span> customers tried valiantly to save 78 remaining EV1s from being <span><a href="http://www.evnut.com/ev1_crushed.htm">crushed</a></span>. Activists kept a 24/7 watch over the vehicles and offered to buy the EV1s from GM for their residual value. <span><a href="http://www.alexandrapaul.com/">Alexandra Paul</a></span> and <span><a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1665635/">Colette Divine</a></span> were arrested while peacefully protesting and making a stand against an EV1 filled GM transport semi attempting to exit the facility.   Chris Paine's film <span>"<a href="http://www.whokilledthelectricar.com">Who Killed the Electric Car ?</a>"</span> documented the <span><a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/saveev1.htm">EV1 Vigil</a></span>. Former EV1 drivers Doug Korthof and Chris Reeves attended and spoke at Holden's press conference, having each arrived in their respective plug-in EVs (<span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">2002 Toyota RAV4-EV</a></span> and <span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevy_S-10_EV">1997 GM Chevy S10 EV</a></span>).

Alex Datig (Business &amp; Public Affairs Consultant, <span><a href="http://www.highroadla.com/">HighRoad Consulting Group LLC</a></span>) let us know that Mr. Holden had a fruitful day getting the EV1 word out.  After the press conference at the GM Training Center Mr Holden went to City Hall to conduct more interviews and to speak to elected officials. He sent the story to <span><a href="http://www.kfwb.com/">KFWB News 980</a></span> and to President-elect Barack Obama.  Mr Holden had the following words for the loyal supporters of the EV1 :

"I want to thank the EV1 family for their support and encouragement for me to continue the fight to hold General Motors and other auto manufacturers' feet to the fire. As you know, today I strongly urge Congress to withhold any bailout funds from the auto industry, unless and until the industry agrees to mass-produce fuel efficiency automobiles; electric cars.

Congress should not, under any circumstances, release the bailout money to automobile manufacturers without making these demands. Without these demands, the automobile manufacturers will just continue with "business as usual," manufacturing gas-guzzlers, which would increase our dependency on the middle-east oil producing countries. This dependency must end now!

We are the advocates of the electric car family and must continue our fight to save the electric car. We must not allow Congress to backslide, or "bait and switch." At the very least, members of the electric car family demand that the conditions that were incorporated in the funding legislation of the  Billion loan package of September 2008 be adhered to.

I respectfully urge each member of the electric car family to contact Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of the United States Senate, Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and each of your local members of Congress, to let them know that any deviation on their part from the conditions of the loan approved in September will not be tolerated.

Lets keep the pressure on!"

Nate Holden
California State Senate, ret.
Los Angeles City Council, ret.

Hon. Nate Holden's next press conference on the EV1 will be held on Wednesday, November 19, 2008 at 10:00 AM at the <span><a href="http://www.laautoshow.com/">LA Auto Show</a></span> (<span><a href="http://www.lacclink.com/">LA Convention Center</a></span> - Pavilion adjacent to West Entrance).

The party was totally sold out: 250 guests and two superb electric vehicle rockstars - GM's newly released preproduction prototype <a href="http://www.chevrolet.com/electriccar/">Chevy Volt</a> and a silver <a href="http://www.teslamotors.com/">Tesla Roadster</a>. Due to parking limitations, valet parking was provided and guests were shuttled to the venue in several <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">Toyota RAV4-EVs</a> and a couple of very quick and spacious <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/acpropulsion/eBox/ebox_index.html">AC Propulsion eBoxes</a>. Chris Paine's film crew was in attendance filming the EVent.

But the speeches were the real highlight of the evening, delivered from a roof top overlooking the partygoers.  Host <a href="http://www.papercutfilms.com/about/#chris">Chris Paine</a> discussed his recent trip to Detroit for the pre-production GM Chevy Volt unveiling and describing how surreal it was to have the Chevy Volt parked in his backyard for this memorable party. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelsea_Sexton">Chelsea Sexton</a> followed with another eloquent summary of Plug In America's humble grassroots beginnings.   Plug In America's president <a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/about-us/our-team.html">Linda Nicholes</a> and board member <a href="http://www.alexandrapaul.com/">Alexandra Paul</a> gave a surprise thank you to two dedicated PIA volunteers. Renowned auto journalist <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/writers/dan-neil">Dan Neil</a> of the LA Times delivered a rave review of the GM Chevy Volt - and some of his trademark wit. And lastly, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Woolsey">James Woolsey</a> summarized the vital national security requirement for our nation to embrace, develop, and deploy plug-in electric vehicles.

The party also featured a silent auction for green and EV related items, including a <a href="http://www.duffyboats.com/">Duffy Electric Boat</a> rental, a <a href="http://www.zeromotorcycles.com/">2009 Zero X Electric Motorcycle</a>, and a beautiful blue <a href="http://www.vectrixusa.com/">2008 Vectrix Electric Maxi-Scooter</a> (from <a href="http://www.delamo-motorsports.com/">Delamo Motorsports</a> in Redondo Beach). <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/vectrix/ElectricMaxi-Scooter/2007.03.16VectrixDemo/VectrixDemo.html">Click here to see my Vectrix Electric Maxi-Scooter</a> coverage from March 2007.

Thanks go out to Plug In America Managing Director Jeanne Trombly, event organizer Nicole Landers, sustainability champion and solar chef extraordinaire <a href="http://action.pluginamerica.org/blastContent.jsp?email_blast_KEY=1119095&amp;t=#article4">Cathy Lam</a>, and all the other volunteers who made Plug In America's first fundraiser such a success!

One of our favorite guests from our shoot in Iceland, Bill Dube and his <a href="http://www.killacycle.com/">KillaCycle</a> Team, made headlines this past week in Colorado with a new EV world speed record.

On Thursday October 23rd, 2008, Team <a href="http://www.killacycle.com/">KillaCycle</a> set their latest drag racing world record at <a href="http://www.bandimere.com/">Bandimere Raceway</a>. Rider Scotty Pollacheck piloted the wickedly fast all electric <a href="http://www.a123systems.com/">A123Systems</a> NanoPhosphate battery powered motorcycle down the quarter mile in only 7.89 seconds, ending with a top speed of 168 MPH.

Scotty's run qualifies as a new official <a href="http://www.nedra.com/">NEDRA</a> (National Electric Drag Racing Association) record, vaulting the KillaCycle into the history books as the world's quickest quarter mile electric vehicle of any kind.

The KillaCycle's A123Systems battery pack is comprised of 1,210 type <a href="http://www.a123systems.com/#/products/p1">ANR26650M1</a> cells arranged to deliver 375 VDC. The motorcycle's Hi-Torque Electric motor was adjusted to draw 1850 amps for this particular run.

<p>[caption id="attachment_1914" align="alignleft" width="97" caption="Clipper Creek EV Charge Station."]<a href="http://www.clippercreek.net/"><img class="size-full wp-image-1914" title="clippercreekchargestation" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/clippercreekchargestation.png" alt="Clipper Creek EV Charge Station." width="97" height="106" /></a>[/caption]</p>
<p>Last week I was notified by <a href="http://www.cleanfuelconnection.com/">Clean Fuel Connection</a> (the company contracted by MINI to deploy the MINI E specific <a href="http://www.clippercreek.net/">Clipper Creek</a> charge stations) that they would be conducting an initial site inspection of my garage and electrical service to insure I could support a <a href="http://www.minispace.com/en_us/projects/electric-mini-e/">MINI E</a>, <b>ampicillin dilution</b>.  <b>Bla ampicillin</b>,   On Wednesday, March 11th, <b>ampicillin msds</b>, <b>Molecular weight of ampicillin</b>, 2009, at 1:30pm I met with a very friendly Paul Jette of Sunpower Electrical, <b>pharmacokinetics of ampicillin</b>, <b>Ampicillin spectrum</b>, the electrical contractor assigned to do the actual charge station install.  He inspected and took some photos of my 200Amp main electrical utility panel, <b>ampicillin contraindications</b>, <b>Binotal ampicillin</b>, and the garage space where the Clipper Creek MINI E charge station will be installed.  <b>Lb ampicillin</b>,  A couple of years ago I had upgraded my electrical distribution system when I self-installed a 4kW Photovoltaic system with the knowledge that plug-in EVs would soon be in my driving future. My electrical cleanup resulted in a very neat and sparsely populated main panel, <b>ampicillin uses</b>, <b>Ampicillin brand name</b>, as I offloaded all individual circuits to a couple of subpanels.  A majority of residences' main electrical utility panel is their only panel, <b>ampicillin satellite colonies</b>, <b>Ampicillin synthesis</b>, and many times it is completely stuffed with breakers and wiring, with no room for additional expansion, <b>ampicillin production</b>.  <b>Ampicillin tr 500 mg</b>,  This is a result many times of the initial builder trying to save a few $$ and installing a less expensive panel.  Generally, <b>ampicillin satellite colonies</b>, <b>Ampicillin sensitivity</b>, the cost of the electrical panel is "in the noise" (negligible), where the the majority of the cost of any electrical work is in the labor, <b>stability of ampicillin</b>.</p>

<p>Paul and I discussed the Clipper Creek charge station during his visit, <b>lb ampicillin</b>.  It is to be protected by a 60amp feed breaker installed at the main panel.  Paul confirmed the location I had already selected for mounting of the charge station to be ideal.  I learned I was Paul's 3rd MINI E initial site visit that day.  These were his very first visits in the MINI E deployment program.</p>
<p>While MINI is picking up the tab for any and all electrical work required to install the <a href="http://www.clippercreek.net/">Clipper Creek</a> <b>Lb ampicillin</b>, charge station, being an engineer  I have the desire to install a kilowatt-hour meter ahead of the charge station to log EV charging kW/hrs.  This self-imposed requirement means the charge station install by MINI at my house will be one of their simplest, as they just need to connect the charge station a few feet directly to the pre-installed and wired <a href="http://www.milbankmfg.com/">Milbank</a> kilowatt-hour meter box I'll already have in place.  I'm looking forward to a callback from Clean Fuel Connection once they are ready to send out the Clipper Creek charge station for installation.</p>

<p>Hasner’s electric car tax break gets boost</p>
<p>Posted by Josh Hafenbrack at 9:50 AM 2009.03.10</p>
<p>The Legislature is taking a step toward giving a Sunshine State boost to the next generation of automobiles: electric-powered cars, <b>ampicillin plate</b>.</p>
<p>An effort led by House Majority Leader Adam Hasner, <b>ampicillin msds</b>, <b>Ampicillin antibiotic resistance</b>, R-Boca Raton, to give a sales tax exemption to consumers who buy battery-powered, <b>ampicillin anhydrous</b>, <b>Ampicillin reconstitution</b>, electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids picked up a unanimous endorsement today.</p>
<p>The measure also would set aside 0, <b>sigma ampicillin</b>, <b>Kanamycin ampicillin</b>, 000 to provide incentives to build 100 charging stations throughout the state, since electric cars usually only last from 40 miles to 100 miles between charges, <b>lb broth ampicillin</b>.  <b>Ampicillin oral</b>, Today, electric vehicles and plug-in cars are a niche product, <b>uses for ampicillin</b>.  <b>Ampicillin brand name</b>, There are just 100 plug-ins on the road on Florida.  <b>Ampicillin plate</b>, But the electric car is coming – if a little slowly. The federal Energy Department has  billion to loan to companies to produce a new breed of electric cars, <b>ampicillin solubility</b>.  <b>Ampicillin history</b>, So far, none of the money has been doled out, <b>ampicillin administration</b>, <b>Binotal ampicillin</b>, but 75 companies, including three Detroit auto manufacturers, <b>ampicillin trade name</b>, <b>Ampicillin tr</b>, have submitted applications, according to the New York Times.</p>
<p>The federal stimulus bill also provides a ,500 tax credit for consumers who purchase plug-in vehicles.</p>
<p>One example is the much-publicized Chevy Volt, a plug-in hybrid due out in 2010 that ailing General Motors is staking its future on.  Ford is rolling out an electric four-door sedan in 2011 and Toyota plans to bring an electric car to showrooms in 2012, <b>ampicillin plate</b>.</p>
<p>“This is a chance for Florida to take the lead in the electric car movement,” Hasner said.</p>
<p>The electric car bill (HB879) would exempt sales of electric vehicles from the state’s 6-cent sales tax and provide a ,000 corporate tax credit to companies that have more than 10 electric or plug-in vehicles in their fleets.</p>
<p>In addition, consumers and businesses would be eligible for a ,000 rebate after converting a gasoline-powered vehicle to a plug-in.</p>
<p>As the House Energy and Utilities Committee gave its stamp of approval to the measure, Hasner is planning a showing of “Who Killed the Electric Car?” to legislators tonight at the Tallahassee IMAX theatre. During the fall campaign, Hasner drove a leased 2002 all-electric Toyota RAV-4 throughout his south Palm Beach-Broward county district — when gas was at its -a-gallon peak. “I drove by the gas station with a smile every single day, because I was using an electric car that didn’t use any gas,” he said.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Last Thursday, I flipped on the KTLA 5 news around 10:30pm, while grabbing a late dinner, and caught a <a href="http://www.fiskerautomotive.com/">Fisker Automotive</a> Karma ad...on TV!  I was caught completely and pleasantly by surprise seeing this great ad, as I don't think we've yet seen any other EV/PHEV specific ads from any of the smaller start-ups.

Justifying the cost of TV ads could be difficult, but has the positive effect of alerting the general population - most of which are not closely following the EV movement - to realize EVs/PHEVs are happening.

I was able to find the <a href="http://www.fiskerautomotive.com/">Fisker Automotive</a> Karma ad that ran during the KTLA pre-show
broadcast of the Academy Awards (2009.02.22), <strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJlhcBotQ7w&amp;fmt=18">archived on YouTube</a></strong> for those that have not yet seen it:

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[We have TWO reports from guest bloggers who attended the <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a> in the Wild EVent Thursday night at Smooth's Sports Grille in Long Beach, CA.  Also embedded below is a recent Aptera 2e demo ride video (with founder Steve Fambro) from the <a href="http://www.ted.com/">2009 TED conference</a> (held in Long Beach, CA) recently uploaded by Aptera forum member Josh.

<strong><em>Guest Blogger - Jenean Smith</em></strong>
It was a rainy night but I decided to jump in my car and see the new <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a> in person tonight in Long Beach. None of the usual suspects were there, (no one I recognized at least), which is a good sign that more and more people are interested in EVs. It's a very sleek car indeed and now with front wheel drive -- like something from a Doctor Who episode transported into the future and modernized for 2009.

<strong><em>Guest Blogger - Jim Hannigan</em></strong>
<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/20090205aptera-smooths.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1632 alignright" title="20090205aptera-smooths" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/20090205aptera-smooths.jpg" alt="20090205aptera-smooths" width="298" height="224" /></a>I went by Smooth's on my way home from work. The Aptera was parked in the restaurant's sidewalk seating area that in the winter is roofed over and enclosed with vinyl fabric. 25 or 30 people were there along with another eight or so Aptera employees as identified by their logo shirts. There was no organized presentation while I was there, but the vehicle could be touched, photographed (I only had a cellphone) and at least for a while some were allowed to sit in it.

I was not aware that this was the first time an Aptera had been shown in public. Several of those in attendance excitedly recited their reservation numbers.

I was told the car was a driveable pre-production unit and that some features would be changed. This one had the rear quarter windows and outside mirrors but not the opening door windows shown on the website. Aptera used it for VIP rides at the TED conference earlier in the day (supposedly including Tesla founder Martin Eberhard).

Questions on battery specifics, observed range, powertrain details etc. were all left TBA.

The vehicle is striking in appearance and was very well finished inside and out. The interior, controls and switches all seemed production grade. Exceptions were the A/C air vents which were complex and delicate looking plastic pieces that I was cautioned not to touch.

The car looks small but is dimensionally large; nearly 15 feet long and over 7 feet wide across the outboard front wheels. The aero tail is relatively high but the front looks very low. I was initially surprised at the small size of the manufacturer's license plate on the car until I remembered the Aptera is classed as a motorcycle. I would have liked to have seen the car on the street around other cars for perspective.

The car was powered up to the extent that the flat-panel dash, Nav displays, parking and brake lights worked. I was able to get a few seconds in the driver's seat. The seats were comfortable, but not deeply contoured. Footwells seemed wide, and head and legroom were good. Front visibility was very good, but not so to the rear : the side mirrors were tiny and the rear window presented a small aperture a long way back.

It is far too early for performance claims but Aptera will likely beat Tesla for eventful ingress/egress. I've owned a Lotus for years and got in and out without a problem, but I watched just about everyone else hit their heads either on the "butterfly" doors or on the doorframe or both.

Dear Aptera Family Member,

In our last newsletter we announced that Aptera would be giving 2e test drives to attendees of the TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) conference in Long Beach. We know most of you aren't attending this exclusive event, so when Smooth's, one of Long Beach's premier night spots and sports bars, offered us an opportunity to showcase the vehicle for the rest of our followers, we seized it.

Join us 6:00pm Thursday night, Feb. 5, at Smooth's to see the vehicle in person and meet other Aptera fans. We know that this is last-minute, but we want you to know about any opportunity to see the Aptera in a public setting.

When:  6pm to 9pm Thursday, February 5, 2009
Location:  Smooth's Sports Grille, 144 Pine Avenue, Long Beach, CA 90802

Thank you,

The Aptera Team - <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera Motors</a> 2009]]></content:encoded>

Regular readers of this blog will know all about Plug in America's triumphant Inaugural EV Parade West in Santa Monica, CA a few weeks back.   Now here's a chance to enjoy some video from the event.

A final count of 77 electric vehicles and over 250 people participated in the rally and subsequent parade. All types of electric vehicles drove quietly and emission free in formation for a few miles through city streets. Plug In America's dedicated volunteers worked their magic during the few weeks leading up to this latest EVent to organize a very successful and historic green parade. EV grins were everywhere and the enthusiasm for plug-ins couldn't have been greater. Plug In America's Inaugural EV Parade West rates as one of the best plug-in EVents to date.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The talented <a href="http://www.myspace.com/kristenlreeves">Kristen Reeves</a> produced this wonderful video segment on <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com">AC Propulsion</a> and their world class electric vehicle drive technology.  For the past 3 years AC Propulsion has been converting gasoline Scion xBs to 100% electric drive with their phenomenal <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/tzero/index.php">AC150gen2 electric drive system</a>.  In her video, Kristen interviews AC Propulsion President &amp; CEO Tom Gage, and legendary actor/director and longtime EV enthusiast <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000158/">Tom Hanks</a>.  Mr. Hanks purchased the very first consumer <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/ebox/index.php">eBox</a> back in 2006 and uses it as his primary vehicle for all SoCal commuting.

Kristen writes:  "Imagine taking the car you drive now, and never having to stop at a gas station ever again. AC Propulsion, has been converting gas-fueled cars to electric for two decades.  This is a piece profiling AC Propulsion's car, the <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/ebox/index.php">eBox</a>, with a special interview with Tom Hanks who owns one of these cars.  Is this the way of the future?"

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Sacramento's <a href="http://www.news10.net/">News 10</a> reports on the electric cars of <a href="http://www.ci.vacaville.ca.us/">Vacaville, CA</a>.  In 2003 Vacaville, also known as <a href="http://www.fleetmag.com/print/Fleet-Maintenance/Welcome-to-Voltageville/109">Voltageville</a>, was miles ahead of other cities with over 100 electric cars on the road in both <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">GM EV1</a>s and <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">Toyota RAV4-EV</a>s.  The California Air Resources Board's <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2008.03.26PIArallyCARB/2008.03.26PIArallyCARB.html">1990 Zero Emissions Vehicle mandate</a> would have required 10% of all vehicles sold in California to be zero emissions.  But the <a href="http://www.arb.ca.gov">CARB</a> ZEV mandate was rescinded in 2003 due to pressure from the automakers.  It resulted in the confiscation of the majority of EVs which had only been available under lease.

In the <a href="http://www.news10.net/">News 10</a> segment <a href="http://www.evworld.com/article.cfm?storyid=152">Ed Huestis, Vacaville's Transportation Manager</a>, comments:  "Once you've driven an electric vehicle, you never want to go back to gasoline...you just don't."  Former GM EV1 owner Jerry Hobrecht and Toyota RAV4-EV owner <a href="http://www.evnut.com/">Darell Dickey</a> are also interviewed expressing their immense enthusiasm for electric drive.

Now, every major automaker is scrambling to produce an electric vehicle.  Watch the <a href="http://www.news10.net/video/default.aspx?playerId=newsmaker&amp;maven_playlistId=63762cfa11fe40643571b0d28136516c002a19f3&amp;maven_referrer=mrss&amp;maven_referralPlaylistId=63762cfa11fe40643571b0d28136516c002a19f3&amp;maven_referralObject=941648966">News 10 report</a> after the jump to learn why "No city is more ready for the return of the electric car than <a href="http://www.ci.vacaville.ca.us/">Vacaville, CA</a>."

This summer Swiss visionary <span><a href="http://www.louispalmer.ch/">Louis Palmer</a></span> and his friendly team made several stops in Southern California on their global whirlwind tour with their spectacular <a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/">Solartaxi Electric Vehicle</a>.  One of the stops was at <a href="http://www.avinc.com/chargingsystems.asp">AeroVironment</a> in Simi Valley.

[caption id="attachment_621" align="alignleft" width="200" caption="Solartaxi parked at AeroVironment - Simi Valley, CA."]<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxiav_dsc_1841.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-621" title="solartaxiav_dsc_1841" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxiav_dsc_1841-200x200.jpg" alt="Solartaxi parked at AeroVironment - Simi Valley, CA." width="200" height="200" /></a>[/caption]

The Solartaxi is a realization of one of Louis' childhood dreams : to drive a zero emissions solar powered electric car around the world. He wants to show people that solutions already exist to resolve the Global Warming crisis.  <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/mission/">Click here to read Solartaxi's mission statement</a></span>.

[caption id="attachment_632" align="alignright" width="200" caption="Solartaxi&#39;s Louis Palmer with Paul Scott on a test drive."]<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-632" title="solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902-200x200.jpg" alt="Solartaxi's Louis Palmer with PIA's Paul Scott on a test drive." width="200" height="200" /></a>[/caption]

Towards this end, the Solartaxi is a promotional vehicle and not one that is suggested we all be driving. The <span><a href="http://www.q-cells.com/">Q-Cell solar panels</a></span> mounted on the trailer towed behind the Solartaxi provide 50% of the electricity required for the journey. They're mainly along for the ride to demonstrate that photovoltaic solar technology is real and available today. They also help to ensure the vehicle can keep traveling even in remote sections of the world should they fail to find a plug for recharging.  The other 50% of the electricity required for the journey is obtained by plugging into the electrical grid en route.  In Switzerland, the Solartaxi team has created a stationary solar array to feed green power into the (global) electrical grid. <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/technology/energy-concept/">Solartaxi just extracts that greenly produced electrical energy from the grid while touring the world</a></span>. We should all support the installation of rooftop mounted PV solar to power our homes and our near-future plug-in electric vehicles.

Solartaxi has two Swiss made 14kwhr <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/technology/zebra-battery/">Zebra batteries</a></span> which are a <span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten_salt_battery">molten-salt type battery</a></span> that has an operating temperature window of 270-350degC (518-662degF). The battery is insulated in a thermos-style package to minimize heat loss and has a life of about 1000 charging cycles. Zebra batteries have an energy density of around 90Whr/kg. Solartaxi has one of these Zebra batteries in the car portion and a second is located along the axle of the photovoltaic solar panel trailer.  That gives a cummulative energy storage capacity of 28kWhrs. The Solartaxi electric drive motor powering the single rear wheel is rated at a peak of 13kW.  The Q-Cells PV solar modules produce upwards of 600 watts. To recharge the batteries solely from the rear trailer would take about 4 days.

After admiring and discussing the Solartaxi for almost an hour, Solartaxi Tour Director Louis Palmer gave a fantastic 40 minute PowerPoint presentation on his mission and adventures.   As of this summer's SoCal visit, Louis had traveled two thirds of his journey around the world. The presentation was followed by an enthusiastic EV technology discussion along with real test drives of the Solartaxi - viewable in the video below.

<em><strong>Friday November 14th, 2008 - GM Training Center - Burbank, CA</strong></em>

<strong><em> <span style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">The Honorable Nate Holden, former California State Senator and L.A. City Council Member, held a press conference demanding General Motors apologize to the American people for destroying the automaker's <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">EV1</a></span> plug-in electric vehicle.  Mr. Holden demanded the EV1's immediate re-introduction before, or in exchange for, any Government bailout of GM. </span></em></strong>

“General Motors compounded their financial woes by destroying the <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">EV1</a></span> and continued to work with the oil companies to gouge the public. It's a dishonest act on the part of General Motors.” said Holden.

This press conference was held at the very same GM facility where the <span><a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/saveev1.htm">EV1 Vigil</a></span> took place during February and March 2005. Loyal <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">GM EV1</a></span> customers tried valiantly to save 78 remaining EV1s from being <span><a href="http://www.evnut.com/ev1_crushed.htm">crushed</a></span>. Activists kept a 24/7 watch over the vehicles and offered to buy the EV1s from GM for their residual value. <span><a href="http://www.alexandrapaul.com/">Alexandra Paul</a></span> and <span><a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1665635/">Colette Divine</a></span> were arrested while peacefully protesting and making a stand against an EV1 filled GM transport semi attempting to exit the facility.   Chris Paine's film <span>"<a href="http://www.whokilledthelectricar.com">Who Killed the Electric Car ?</a>"</span> documented the <span><a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/saveev1.htm">EV1 Vigil</a></span>. Former EV1 drivers Doug Korthof and Chris Reeves attended and spoke at Holden's press conference, having each arrived in their respective plug-in EVs (<span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">2002 Toyota RAV4-EV</a></span> and <span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevy_S-10_EV">1997 GM Chevy S10 EV</a></span>).

Alex Datig (Business &amp; Public Affairs Consultant, <span><a href="http://www.highroadla.com/">HighRoad Consulting Group LLC</a></span>) let us know that Mr. Holden had a fruitful day getting the EV1 word out.  After the press conference at the GM Training Center Mr Holden went to City Hall to conduct more interviews and to speak to elected officials. He sent the story to <span><a href="http://www.kfwb.com/">KFWB News 980</a></span> and to President-elect Barack Obama.  Mr Holden had the following words for the loyal supporters of the EV1 :

"I want to thank the EV1 family for their support and encouragement for me to continue the fight to hold General Motors and other auto manufacturers' feet to the fire. As you know, today I strongly urge Congress to withhold any bailout funds from the auto industry, unless and until the industry agrees to mass-produce fuel efficiency automobiles; electric cars.

Congress should not, under any circumstances, release the bailout money to automobile manufacturers without making these demands. Without these demands, the automobile manufacturers will just continue with "business as usual," manufacturing gas-guzzlers, which would increase our dependency on the middle-east oil producing countries. This dependency must end now!

We are the advocates of the electric car family and must continue our fight to save the electric car. We must not allow Congress to backslide, or "bait and switch." At the very least, members of the electric car family demand that the conditions that were incorporated in the funding legislation of the  Billion loan package of September 2008 be adhered to.

I respectfully urge each member of the electric car family to contact Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of the United States Senate, Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and each of your local members of Congress, to let them know that any deviation on their part from the conditions of the loan approved in September will not be tolerated.

Lets keep the pressure on!"

Nate Holden
California State Senate, ret.
Los Angeles City Council, ret.

Hon. Nate Holden's next press conference on the EV1 will be held on Wednesday, November 19, 2008 at 10:00 AM at the <span><a href="http://www.laautoshow.com/">LA Auto Show</a></span> (<span><a href="http://www.lacclink.com/">LA Convention Center</a></span> - Pavilion adjacent to West Entrance).

The party was totally sold out: 250 guests and two superb electric vehicle rockstars - GM's newly released preproduction prototype <a href="http://www.chevrolet.com/electriccar/">Chevy Volt</a> and a silver <a href="http://www.teslamotors.com/">Tesla Roadster</a>. Due to parking limitations, valet parking was provided and guests were shuttled to the venue in several <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">Toyota RAV4-EVs</a> and a couple of very quick and spacious <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/acpropulsion/eBox/ebox_index.html">AC Propulsion eBoxes</a>. Chris Paine's film crew was in attendance filming the EVent.

But the speeches were the real highlight of the evening, delivered from a roof top overlooking the partygoers.  Host <a href="http://www.papercutfilms.com/about/#chris">Chris Paine</a> discussed his recent trip to Detroit for the pre-production GM Chevy Volt unveiling and describing how surreal it was to have the Chevy Volt parked in his backyard for this memorable party. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelsea_Sexton">Chelsea Sexton</a> followed with another eloquent summary of Plug In America's humble grassroots beginnings.   Plug In America's president <a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/about-us/our-team.html">Linda Nicholes</a> and board member <a href="http://www.alexandrapaul.com/">Alexandra Paul</a> gave a surprise thank you to two dedicated PIA volunteers. Renowned auto journalist <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/writers/dan-neil">Dan Neil</a> of the LA Times delivered a rave review of the GM Chevy Volt - and some of his trademark wit. And lastly, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Woolsey">James Woolsey</a> summarized the vital national security requirement for our nation to embrace, develop, and deploy plug-in electric vehicles.

The party also featured a silent auction for green and EV related items, including a <a href="http://www.duffyboats.com/">Duffy Electric Boat</a> rental, a <a href="http://www.zeromotorcycles.com/">2009 Zero X Electric Motorcycle</a>, and a beautiful blue <a href="http://www.vectrixusa.com/">2008 Vectrix Electric Maxi-Scooter</a> (from <a href="http://www.delamo-motorsports.com/">Delamo Motorsports</a> in Redondo Beach). <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/vectrix/ElectricMaxi-Scooter/2007.03.16VectrixDemo/VectrixDemo.html">Click here to see my Vectrix Electric Maxi-Scooter</a> coverage from March 2007.

One of our favorite guests from our shoot in Iceland, Bill Dube and his <a href="http://www.killacycle.com/">KillaCycle</a> Team, made headlines this past week in Colorado with a new EV world speed record.

On Thursday October 23rd, 2008, Team <a href="http://www.killacycle.com/">KillaCycle</a> set their latest drag racing world record at <a href="http://www.bandimere.com/">Bandimere Raceway</a>. Rider Scotty Pollacheck piloted the wickedly fast all electric <a href="http://www.a123systems.com/">A123Systems</a> NanoPhosphate battery powered motorcycle down the quarter mile in only 7.89 seconds, ending with a top speed of 168 MPH.

Scotty's run qualifies as a new official <a href="http://www.nedra.com/">NEDRA</a> (National Electric Drag Racing Association) record, vaulting the KillaCycle into the history books as the world's quickest quarter mile electric vehicle of any kind.

The KillaCycle's A123Systems battery pack is comprised of 1,210 type <a href="http://www.a123systems.com/#/products/p1">ANR26650M1</a> cells arranged to deliver 375 VDC. The motorcycle's Hi-Torque Electric motor was adjusted to draw 1850 amps for this particular run.

<p>If you've been following the BMW <a href="http://www.minispace.com/en_us/projects/electric-mini-e/">MINI E</a> program unveiled officially on November 19th, 2008 at the Los Angeles Auto Show you'll know the process for being selected as a potential MINI E driver is a multistep one.  The window to apply for a lease of a MINI E was from November 19th to December 24th, <b>mic ampicillin</b>, <b>Ampicillin india</b>, 2008, via an hour long online questionnaire, <b>ampicillin trade name</b>.  <b>Ampicillin reconstitution</b>, In January 2009, I was excited to learn I was selected to be one of the potential 250 lessees of the MINI E being deployed in Southern California this year, <b>ampicillin antibiotic resistance</b>.  <b>Synthesis of ampicillin</b>,  Achieving selection status was just one of the first steps to MINI E driving sweetness.  In the past couple of months I've been passing other qualifications, <b>ampicillin degradation</b>.  One of these items on the MINI E deployment checklist regards the residence where one is to park and charge the MINI E, <b>lb ampicillin</b>.  <b>Ampicillin administration</b>,  MINI wants to insure their MINI Es will be parked in an enclosed garage and that the residence's electrical system is up to the task of charging the car.</p>
<p>[caption id="attachment_1914" align="alignleft" width="97" caption="Clipper Creek EV Charge Station."]<a href="http://www.clippercreek.net/"><img class="size-full wp-image-1914" title="clippercreekchargestation" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/clippercreekchargestation.png" alt="Clipper Creek EV Charge Station." width="97" height="106" /></a>[/caption]</p>
<p>Last week I was notified by <a href="http://www.cleanfuelconnection.com/">Clean Fuel Connection</a> (the company contracted by MINI to deploy the MINI E specific <a href="http://www.clippercreek.net/">Clipper Creek</a> charge stations) that they would be conducting an initial site inspection of my garage and electrical service to insure I could support a <a href="http://www.minispace.com/en_us/projects/electric-mini-e/">MINI E</a>, <b>ampicillin dilution</b>.  <b>Bla ampicillin</b>,   On Wednesday, March 11th, <b>ampicillin msds</b>, <b>Molecular weight of ampicillin</b>, 2009, at 1:30pm I met with a very friendly Paul Jette of Sunpower Electrical, <b>pharmacokinetics of ampicillin</b>, <b>Ampicillin spectrum</b>, the electrical contractor assigned to do the actual charge station install.  He inspected and took some photos of my 200Amp main electrical utility panel, <b>ampicillin contraindications</b>, <b>Binotal ampicillin</b>, and the garage space where the Clipper Creek MINI E charge station will be installed.  <b>Lb ampicillin</b>,  A couple of years ago I had upgraded my electrical distribution system when I self-installed a 4kW Photovoltaic system with the knowledge that plug-in EVs would soon be in my driving future. My electrical cleanup resulted in a very neat and sparsely populated main panel, <b>ampicillin uses</b>, <b>Ampicillin brand name</b>, as I offloaded all individual circuits to a couple of subpanels.  A majority of residences' main electrical utility panel is their only panel, <b>ampicillin satellite colonies</b>, <b>Ampicillin synthesis</b>, and many times it is completely stuffed with breakers and wiring, with no room for additional expansion, <b>ampicillin production</b>.  <b>Ampicillin tr 500 mg</b>,  This is a result many times of the initial builder trying to save a few $$ and installing a less expensive panel.  Generally, <b>ampicillin satellite colonies</b>, <b>Ampicillin sensitivity</b>, the cost of the electrical panel is "in the noise" (negligible), where the the majority of the cost of any electrical work is in the labor, <b>stability of ampicillin</b>.</p>

<p>Paul and I discussed the Clipper Creek charge station during his visit, <b>lb ampicillin</b>.  It is to be protected by a 60amp feed breaker installed at the main panel.  Paul confirmed the location I had already selected for mounting of the charge station to be ideal.  I learned I was Paul's 3rd MINI E initial site visit that day.  These were his very first visits in the MINI E deployment program.</p>
<p>While MINI is picking up the tab for any and all electrical work required to install the <a href="http://www.clippercreek.net/">Clipper Creek</a> <b>Lb ampicillin</b>, charge station, being an engineer  I have the desire to install a kilowatt-hour meter ahead of the charge station to log EV charging kW/hrs.  This self-imposed requirement means the charge station install by MINI at my house will be one of their simplest, as they just need to connect the charge station a few feet directly to the pre-installed and wired <a href="http://www.milbankmfg.com/">Milbank</a> kilowatt-hour meter box I'll already have in place.  I'm looking forward to a callback from Clean Fuel Connection once they are ready to send out the Clipper Creek charge station for installation.</p>

<p>If you've been following the BMW <a href="http://www.minispace.com/en_us/projects/electric-mini-e/">MINI E</a> program unveiled officially on November 19th, 2008 at the Los Angeles Auto Show you'll know the process for being selected as a potential MINI E driver is a multistep one.  The window to apply for a lease of a MINI E was from November 19th to December 24th, <b>mic ampicillin</b>, <b>Ampicillin india</b>, 2008, via an hour long online questionnaire, <b>ampicillin trade name</b>.  <b>Ampicillin reconstitution</b>, In January 2009, I was excited to learn I was selected to be one of the potential 250 lessees of the MINI E being deployed in Southern California this year, <b>ampicillin antibiotic resistance</b>.  <b>Synthesis of ampicillin</b>,  Achieving selection status was just one of the first steps to MINI E driving sweetness.  In the past couple of months I've been passing other qualifications, <b>ampicillin degradation</b>.  One of these items on the MINI E deployment checklist regards the residence where one is to park and charge the MINI E, <b>lb ampicillin</b>.  <b>Ampicillin administration</b>,  MINI wants to insure their MINI Es will be parked in an enclosed garage and that the residence's electrical system is up to the task of charging the car.</p>

<p>Last week I was notified by <a href="http://www.cleanfuelconnection.com/">Clean Fuel Connection</a> (the company contracted by MINI to deploy the MINI E specific <a href="http://www.clippercreek.net/">Clipper Creek</a> charge stations) that they would be conducting an initial site inspection of my garage and electrical service to insure I could support a <a href="http://www.minispace.com/en_us/projects/electric-mini-e/">MINI E</a>, <b>ampicillin dilution</b>.  <b>Bla ampicillin</b>,   On Wednesday, March 11th, <b>ampicillin msds</b>, <b>Molecular weight of ampicillin</b>, 2009, at 1:30pm I met with a very friendly Paul Jette of Sunpower Electrical, <b>pharmacokinetics of ampicillin</b>, <b>Ampicillin spectrum</b>, the electrical contractor assigned to do the actual charge station install.  He inspected and took some photos of my 200Amp main electrical utility panel, <b>ampicillin contraindications</b>, <b>Binotal ampicillin</b>, and the garage space where the Clipper Creek MINI E charge station will be installed.  <b>Lb ampicillin</b>,  A couple of years ago I had upgraded my electrical distribution system when I self-installed a 4kW Photovoltaic system with the knowledge that plug-in EVs would soon be in my driving future. My electrical cleanup resulted in a very neat and sparsely populated main panel, <b>ampicillin uses</b>, <b>Ampicillin brand name</b>, as I offloaded all individual circuits to a couple of subpanels.  A majority of residences' main electrical utility panel is their only panel, <b>ampicillin satellite colonies</b>, <b>Ampicillin synthesis</b>, and many times it is completely stuffed with breakers and wiring, with no room for additional expansion, <b>ampicillin production</b>.  <b>Ampicillin tr 500 mg</b>,  This is a result many times of the initial builder trying to save a few $$ and installing a less expensive panel.  Generally, <b>ampicillin satellite colonies</b>, <b>Ampicillin sensitivity</b>, the cost of the electrical panel is "in the noise" (negligible), where the the majority of the cost of any electrical work is in the labor, <b>stability of ampicillin</b>.</p>

<p>Paul and I discussed the Clipper Creek charge station during his visit, <b>lb ampicillin</b>.  It is to be protected by a 60amp feed breaker installed at the main panel.  Paul confirmed the location I had already selected for mounting of the charge station to be ideal.  I learned I was Paul's 3rd MINI E initial site visit that day.  These were his very first visits in the MINI E deployment program.</p>
<p>While MINI is picking up the tab for any and all electrical work required to install the <a href="http://www.clippercreek.net/">Clipper Creek</a> <b>Lb ampicillin</b>, charge station, being an engineer  I have the desire to install a kilowatt-hour meter ahead of the charge station to log EV charging kW/hrs.  This self-imposed requirement means the charge station install by MINI at my house will be one of their simplest, as they just need to connect the charge station a few feet directly to the pre-installed and wired <a href="http://www.milbankmfg.com/">Milbank</a> kilowatt-hour meter box I'll already have in place.  I'm looking forward to a callback from Clean Fuel Connection once they are ready to send out the Clipper Creek charge station for installation.</p>

<p>Hasner’s electric car tax break gets boost</p>
<p>Posted by Josh Hafenbrack at 9:50 AM 2009.03.10</p>
<p>The Legislature is taking a step toward giving a Sunshine State boost to the next generation of automobiles: electric-powered cars, <b>ampicillin plate</b>.</p>
<p>An effort led by House Majority Leader Adam Hasner, <b>ampicillin msds</b>, <b>Ampicillin antibiotic resistance</b>, R-Boca Raton, to give a sales tax exemption to consumers who buy battery-powered, <b>ampicillin anhydrous</b>, <b>Ampicillin reconstitution</b>, electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids picked up a unanimous endorsement today.</p>
<p>The measure also would set aside 0, <b>sigma ampicillin</b>, <b>Kanamycin ampicillin</b>, 000 to provide incentives to build 100 charging stations throughout the state, since electric cars usually only last from 40 miles to 100 miles between charges, <b>lb broth ampicillin</b>.  <b>Ampicillin oral</b>, Today, electric vehicles and plug-in cars are a niche product, <b>uses for ampicillin</b>.  <b>Ampicillin brand name</b>, There are just 100 plug-ins on the road on Florida.  <b>Ampicillin plate</b>, But the electric car is coming – if a little slowly. The federal Energy Department has  billion to loan to companies to produce a new breed of electric cars, <b>ampicillin solubility</b>.  <b>Ampicillin history</b>, So far, none of the money has been doled out, <b>ampicillin administration</b>, <b>Binotal ampicillin</b>, but 75 companies, including three Detroit auto manufacturers, <b>ampicillin trade name</b>, <b>Ampicillin tr</b>, have submitted applications, according to the New York Times.</p>
<p>The federal stimulus bill also provides a ,500 tax credit for consumers who purchase plug-in vehicles.</p>
<p>One example is the much-publicized Chevy Volt, a plug-in hybrid due out in 2010 that ailing General Motors is staking its future on.  Ford is rolling out an electric four-door sedan in 2011 and Toyota plans to bring an electric car to showrooms in 2012, <b>ampicillin plate</b>.</p>
<p>“This is a chance for Florida to take the lead in the electric car movement,” Hasner said.</p>
<p>The electric car bill (HB879) would exempt sales of electric vehicles from the state’s 6-cent sales tax and provide a ,000 corporate tax credit to companies that have more than 10 electric or plug-in vehicles in their fleets.</p>
<p>In addition, consumers and businesses would be eligible for a ,000 rebate after converting a gasoline-powered vehicle to a plug-in.</p>
<p>As the House Energy and Utilities Committee gave its stamp of approval to the measure, Hasner is planning a showing of “Who Killed the Electric Car?” to legislators tonight at the Tallahassee IMAX theatre. During the fall campaign, Hasner drove a leased 2002 all-electric Toyota RAV-4 throughout his south Palm Beach-Broward county district — when gas was at its -a-gallon peak. “I drove by the gas station with a smile every single day, because I was using an electric car that didn’t use any gas,” he said.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Last Thursday, I flipped on the KTLA 5 news around 10:30pm, while grabbing a late dinner, and caught a <a href="http://www.fiskerautomotive.com/">Fisker Automotive</a> Karma ad...on TV!  I was caught completely and pleasantly by surprise seeing this great ad, as I don't think we've yet seen any other EV/PHEV specific ads from any of the smaller start-ups.

Justifying the cost of TV ads could be difficult, but has the positive effect of alerting the general population - most of which are not closely following the EV movement - to realize EVs/PHEVs are happening.

I was able to find the <a href="http://www.fiskerautomotive.com/">Fisker Automotive</a> Karma ad that ran during the KTLA pre-show
broadcast of the Academy Awards (2009.02.22), <strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJlhcBotQ7w&amp;fmt=18">archived on YouTube</a></strong> for those that have not yet seen it:

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[We have TWO reports from guest bloggers who attended the <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a> in the Wild EVent Thursday night at Smooth's Sports Grille in Long Beach, CA.  Also embedded below is a recent Aptera 2e demo ride video (with founder Steve Fambro) from the <a href="http://www.ted.com/">2009 TED conference</a> (held in Long Beach, CA) recently uploaded by Aptera forum member Josh.

<strong><em>Guest Blogger - Jenean Smith</em></strong>
It was a rainy night but I decided to jump in my car and see the new <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a> in person tonight in Long Beach. None of the usual suspects were there, (no one I recognized at least), which is a good sign that more and more people are interested in EVs. It's a very sleek car indeed and now with front wheel drive -- like something from a Doctor Who episode transported into the future and modernized for 2009.

<strong><em>Guest Blogger - Jim Hannigan</em></strong>
<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/20090205aptera-smooths.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1632 alignright" title="20090205aptera-smooths" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/20090205aptera-smooths.jpg" alt="20090205aptera-smooths" width="298" height="224" /></a>I went by Smooth's on my way home from work. The Aptera was parked in the restaurant's sidewalk seating area that in the winter is roofed over and enclosed with vinyl fabric. 25 or 30 people were there along with another eight or so Aptera employees as identified by their logo shirts. There was no organized presentation while I was there, but the vehicle could be touched, photographed (I only had a cellphone) and at least for a while some were allowed to sit in it.

I was not aware that this was the first time an Aptera had been shown in public. Several of those in attendance excitedly recited their reservation numbers.

I was told the car was a driveable pre-production unit and that some features would be changed. This one had the rear quarter windows and outside mirrors but not the opening door windows shown on the website. Aptera used it for VIP rides at the TED conference earlier in the day (supposedly including Tesla founder Martin Eberhard).

Questions on battery specifics, observed range, powertrain details etc. were all left TBA.

The vehicle is striking in appearance and was very well finished inside and out. The interior, controls and switches all seemed production grade. Exceptions were the A/C air vents which were complex and delicate looking plastic pieces that I was cautioned not to touch.

The car looks small but is dimensionally large; nearly 15 feet long and over 7 feet wide across the outboard front wheels. The aero tail is relatively high but the front looks very low. I was initially surprised at the small size of the manufacturer's license plate on the car until I remembered the Aptera is classed as a motorcycle. I would have liked to have seen the car on the street around other cars for perspective.

The car was powered up to the extent that the flat-panel dash, Nav displays, parking and brake lights worked. I was able to get a few seconds in the driver's seat. The seats were comfortable, but not deeply contoured. Footwells seemed wide, and head and legroom were good. Front visibility was very good, but not so to the rear : the side mirrors were tiny and the rear window presented a small aperture a long way back.

It is far too early for performance claims but Aptera will likely beat Tesla for eventful ingress/egress. I've owned a Lotus for years and got in and out without a problem, but I watched just about everyone else hit their heads either on the "butterfly" doors or on the doorframe or both.

Date: Thu, 5 Feb 2009 11:36:10 -0800
From: <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a>
Subject: Aptera in the Wild

Dear Aptera Family Member,

In our last newsletter we announced that Aptera would be giving 2e test drives to attendees of the TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) conference in Long Beach. We know most of you aren't attending this exclusive event, so when Smooth's, one of Long Beach's premier night spots and sports bars, offered us an opportunity to showcase the vehicle for the rest of our followers, we seized it.

Join us 6:00pm Thursday night, Feb. 5, at Smooth's to see the vehicle in person and meet other Aptera fans. We know that this is last-minute, but we want you to know about any opportunity to see the Aptera in a public setting.

When:  6pm to 9pm Thursday, February 5, 2009
Location:  Smooth's Sports Grille, 144 Pine Avenue, Long Beach, CA 90802

Thank you,

The Aptera Team - <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera Motors</a> 2009]]></content:encoded>

Regular readers of this blog will know all about Plug in America's triumphant Inaugural EV Parade West in Santa Monica, CA a few weeks back.   Now here's a chance to enjoy some video from the event.

A final count of 77 electric vehicles and over 250 people participated in the rally and subsequent parade. All types of electric vehicles drove quietly and emission free in formation for a few miles through city streets. Plug In America's dedicated volunteers worked their magic during the few weeks leading up to this latest EVent to organize a very successful and historic green parade. EV grins were everywhere and the enthusiasm for plug-ins couldn't have been greater. Plug In America's Inaugural EV Parade West rates as one of the best plug-in EVents to date.

Click play on the below 38 minute video of Plug In America's Inaugural EV Parade West to watch 26 minutes of rally speeches and experience the parade festivities.  Thanks to <a href="http://www.viddler.com">Viddler</a>'s great contextual timeline tagging feature, you can easily skip to any speaker or portion of the video without delay.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The talented <a href="http://www.myspace.com/kristenlreeves">Kristen Reeves</a> produced this wonderful video segment on <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com">AC Propulsion</a> and their world class electric vehicle drive technology.  For the past 3 years AC Propulsion has been converting gasoline Scion xBs to 100% electric drive with their phenomenal <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/tzero/index.php">AC150gen2 electric drive system</a>.  In her video, Kristen interviews AC Propulsion President &amp; CEO Tom Gage, and legendary actor/director and longtime EV enthusiast <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000158/">Tom Hanks</a>.  Mr. Hanks purchased the very first consumer <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/ebox/index.php">eBox</a> back in 2006 and uses it as his primary vehicle for all SoCal commuting.

Kristen writes:  "Imagine taking the car you drive now, and never having to stop at a gas station ever again. AC Propulsion, has been converting gas-fueled cars to electric for two decades.  This is a piece profiling AC Propulsion's car, the <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/ebox/index.php">eBox</a>, with a special interview with Tom Hanks who owns one of these cars.  Is this the way of the future?"

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Sacramento's <a href="http://www.news10.net/">News 10</a> reports on the electric cars of <a href="http://www.ci.vacaville.ca.us/">Vacaville, CA</a>.  In 2003 Vacaville, also known as <a href="http://www.fleetmag.com/print/Fleet-Maintenance/Welcome-to-Voltageville/109">Voltageville</a>, was miles ahead of other cities with over 100 electric cars on the road in both <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">GM EV1</a>s and <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">Toyota RAV4-EV</a>s.  The California Air Resources Board's <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2008.03.26PIArallyCARB/2008.03.26PIArallyCARB.html">1990 Zero Emissions Vehicle mandate</a> would have required 10% of all vehicles sold in California to be zero emissions.  But the <a href="http://www.arb.ca.gov">CARB</a> ZEV mandate was rescinded in 2003 due to pressure from the automakers.  It resulted in the confiscation of the majority of EVs which had only been available under lease.

In the <a href="http://www.news10.net/">News 10</a> segment <a href="http://www.evworld.com/article.cfm?storyid=152">Ed Huestis, Vacaville's Transportation Manager</a>, comments:  "Once you've driven an electric vehicle, you never want to go back to gasoline...you just don't."  Former GM EV1 owner Jerry Hobrecht and Toyota RAV4-EV owner <a href="http://www.evnut.com/">Darell Dickey</a> are also interviewed expressing their immense enthusiasm for electric drive.

Now, every major automaker is scrambling to produce an electric vehicle.  Watch the <a href="http://www.news10.net/video/default.aspx?playerId=newsmaker&amp;maven_playlistId=63762cfa11fe40643571b0d28136516c002a19f3&amp;maven_referrer=mrss&amp;maven_referralPlaylistId=63762cfa11fe40643571b0d28136516c002a19f3&amp;maven_referralObject=941648966">News 10 report</a> after the jump to learn why "No city is more ready for the return of the electric car than <a href="http://www.ci.vacaville.ca.us/">Vacaville, CA</a>."

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[[caption id="attachment_618" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Stefano readies for a Solartaxi test drive."]<a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/redirect/Solartaxi-Simi.html"><img class="size-full wp-image-618" title="stefsolartaxi_dsc_1876" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/stefsolartaxi_dsc_1876.jpg" alt="Stefano readies for a Solartaxi test drive." width="500" height="333" /></a>[/caption]

This summer Swiss visionary <span><a href="http://www.louispalmer.ch/">Louis Palmer</a></span> and his friendly team made several stops in Southern California on their global whirlwind tour with their spectacular <a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/">Solartaxi Electric Vehicle</a>.  One of the stops was at <a href="http://www.avinc.com/chargingsystems.asp">AeroVironment</a> in Simi Valley.

[caption id="attachment_621" align="alignleft" width="200" caption="Solartaxi parked at AeroVironment - Simi Valley, CA."]<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxiav_dsc_1841.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-621" title="solartaxiav_dsc_1841" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxiav_dsc_1841-200x200.jpg" alt="Solartaxi parked at AeroVironment - Simi Valley, CA." width="200" height="200" /></a>[/caption]

The Solartaxi is a realization of one of Louis' childhood dreams : to drive a zero emissions solar powered electric car around the world. He wants to show people that solutions already exist to resolve the Global Warming crisis.  <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/mission/">Click here to read Solartaxi's mission statement</a></span>.

[caption id="attachment_632" align="alignright" width="200" caption="Solartaxi&#39;s Louis Palmer with Paul Scott on a test drive."]<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-632" title="solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902-200x200.jpg" alt="Solartaxi's Louis Palmer with PIA's Paul Scott on a test drive." width="200" height="200" /></a>[/caption]

Towards this end, the Solartaxi is a promotional vehicle and not one that is suggested we all be driving. The <span><a href="http://www.q-cells.com/">Q-Cell solar panels</a></span> mounted on the trailer towed behind the Solartaxi provide 50% of the electricity required for the journey. They're mainly along for the ride to demonstrate that photovoltaic solar technology is real and available today. They also help to ensure the vehicle can keep traveling even in remote sections of the world should they fail to find a plug for recharging.  The other 50% of the electricity required for the journey is obtained by plugging into the electrical grid en route.  In Switzerland, the Solartaxi team has created a stationary solar array to feed green power into the (global) electrical grid. <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/technology/energy-concept/">Solartaxi just extracts that greenly produced electrical energy from the grid while touring the world</a></span>. We should all support the installation of rooftop mounted PV solar to power our homes and our near-future plug-in electric vehicles.

Solartaxi has two Swiss made 14kwhr <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/technology/zebra-battery/">Zebra batteries</a></span> which are a <span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten_salt_battery">molten-salt type battery</a></span> that has an operating temperature window of 270-350degC (518-662degF). The battery is insulated in a thermos-style package to minimize heat loss and has a life of about 1000 charging cycles. Zebra batteries have an energy density of around 90Whr/kg. Solartaxi has one of these Zebra batteries in the car portion and a second is located along the axle of the photovoltaic solar panel trailer.  That gives a cummulative energy storage capacity of 28kWhrs. The Solartaxi electric drive motor powering the single rear wheel is rated at a peak of 13kW.  The Q-Cells PV solar modules produce upwards of 600 watts. To recharge the batteries solely from the rear trailer would take about 4 days.

After admiring and discussing the Solartaxi for almost an hour, Solartaxi Tour Director Louis Palmer gave a fantastic 40 minute PowerPoint presentation on his mission and adventures.   As of this summer's SoCal visit, Louis had traveled two thirds of his journey around the world. The presentation was followed by an enthusiastic EV technology discussion along with real test drives of the Solartaxi - viewable in the video below.

<em><strong>Friday November 14th, 2008 - GM Training Center - Burbank, CA</strong></em>

<strong><em> <span style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">The Honorable Nate Holden, former California State Senator and L.A. City Council Member, held a press conference demanding General Motors apologize to the American people for destroying the automaker's <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">EV1</a></span> plug-in electric vehicle.  Mr. Holden demanded the EV1's immediate re-introduction before, or in exchange for, any Government bailout of GM. </span></em></strong>

“General Motors compounded their financial woes by destroying the <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">EV1</a></span> and continued to work with the oil companies to gouge the public. It's a dishonest act on the part of General Motors.” said Holden.

This press conference was held at the very same GM facility where the <span><a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/saveev1.htm">EV1 Vigil</a></span> took place during February and March 2005. Loyal <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">GM EV1</a></span> customers tried valiantly to save 78 remaining EV1s from being <span><a href="http://www.evnut.com/ev1_crushed.htm">crushed</a></span>. Activists kept a 24/7 watch over the vehicles and offered to buy the EV1s from GM for their residual value. <span><a href="http://www.alexandrapaul.com/">Alexandra Paul</a></span> and <span><a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1665635/">Colette Divine</a></span> were arrested while peacefully protesting and making a stand against an EV1 filled GM transport semi attempting to exit the facility.   Chris Paine's film <span>"<a href="http://www.whokilledthelectricar.com">Who Killed the Electric Car ?</a>"</span> documented the <span><a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/saveev1.htm">EV1 Vigil</a></span>. Former EV1 drivers Doug Korthof and Chris Reeves attended and spoke at Holden's press conference, having each arrived in their respective plug-in EVs (<span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">2002 Toyota RAV4-EV</a></span> and <span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevy_S-10_EV">1997 GM Chevy S10 EV</a></span>).

Alex Datig (Business &amp; Public Affairs Consultant, <span><a href="http://www.highroadla.com/">HighRoad Consulting Group LLC</a></span>) let us know that Mr. Holden had a fruitful day getting the EV1 word out.  After the press conference at the GM Training Center Mr Holden went to City Hall to conduct more interviews and to speak to elected officials. He sent the story to <span><a href="http://www.kfwb.com/">KFWB News 980</a></span> and to President-elect Barack Obama.  Mr Holden had the following words for the loyal supporters of the EV1 :

"I want to thank the EV1 family for their support and encouragement for me to continue the fight to hold General Motors and other auto manufacturers' feet to the fire. As you know, today I strongly urge Congress to withhold any bailout funds from the auto industry, unless and until the industry agrees to mass-produce fuel efficiency automobiles; electric cars.

Congress should not, under any circumstances, release the bailout money to automobile manufacturers without making these demands. Without these demands, the automobile manufacturers will just continue with "business as usual," manufacturing gas-guzzlers, which would increase our dependency on the middle-east oil producing countries. This dependency must end now!

We are the advocates of the electric car family and must continue our fight to save the electric car. We must not allow Congress to backslide, or "bait and switch." At the very least, members of the electric car family demand that the conditions that were incorporated in the funding legislation of the  Billion loan package of September 2008 be adhered to.

I respectfully urge each member of the electric car family to contact Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of the United States Senate, Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and each of your local members of Congress, to let them know that any deviation on their part from the conditions of the loan approved in September will not be tolerated.

Lets keep the pressure on!"

Nate Holden
California State Senate, ret.
Los Angeles City Council, ret.

Hon. Nate Holden's next press conference on the EV1 will be held on Wednesday, November 19, 2008 at 10:00 AM at the <span><a href="http://www.laautoshow.com/">LA Auto Show</a></span> (<span><a href="http://www.lacclink.com/">LA Convention Center</a></span> - Pavilion adjacent to West Entrance).

Saturday September 27th, 2008 : Immediately after the Santa Monica 2008 <a href="http://www.altcarexpo.com/">AltCarExpo</a>, "<a href="http://www.whokilledtheelectriccar.com/">Who Killed the Electric Car?</a>" Director <a href="http://www.papercutfilms.com/about/#chris">Chris Paine</a> graciously hosted <a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/">Plug In America</a>'s very first fundraiser at his PV+EV residence in Culver City, CA .

The party was totally sold out: 250 guests and two superb electric vehicle rockstars - GM's newly released preproduction prototype <a href="http://www.chevrolet.com/electriccar/">Chevy Volt</a> and a silver <a href="http://www.teslamotors.com/">Tesla Roadster</a>. Due to parking limitations, valet parking was provided and guests were shuttled to the venue in several <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">Toyota RAV4-EVs</a> and a couple of very quick and spacious <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/acpropulsion/eBox/ebox_index.html">AC Propulsion eBoxes</a>. Chris Paine's film crew was in attendance filming the EVent.

But the speeches were the real highlight of the evening, delivered from a roof top overlooking the partygoers.  Host <a href="http://www.papercutfilms.com/about/#chris">Chris Paine</a> discussed his recent trip to Detroit for the pre-production GM Chevy Volt unveiling and describing how surreal it was to have the Chevy Volt parked in his backyard for this memorable party. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelsea_Sexton">Chelsea Sexton</a> followed with another eloquent summary of Plug In America's humble grassroots beginnings.   Plug In America's president <a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/about-us/our-team.html">Linda Nicholes</a> and board member <a href="http://www.alexandrapaul.com/">Alexandra Paul</a> gave a surprise thank you to two dedicated PIA volunteers. Renowned auto journalist <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/writers/dan-neil">Dan Neil</a> of the LA Times delivered a rave review of the GM Chevy Volt - and some of his trademark wit. And lastly, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Woolsey">James Woolsey</a> summarized the vital national security requirement for our nation to embrace, develop, and deploy plug-in electric vehicles.

The party also featured a silent auction for green and EV related items, including a <a href="http://www.duffyboats.com/">Duffy Electric Boat</a> rental, a <a href="http://www.zeromotorcycles.com/">2009 Zero X Electric Motorcycle</a>, and a beautiful blue <a href="http://www.vectrixusa.com/">2008 Vectrix Electric Maxi-Scooter</a> (from <a href="http://www.delamo-motorsports.com/">Delamo Motorsports</a> in Redondo Beach). <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/vectrix/ElectricMaxi-Scooter/2007.03.16VectrixDemo/VectrixDemo.html">Click here to see my Vectrix Electric Maxi-Scooter</a> coverage from March 2007.

One of our favorite guests from our shoot in Iceland, Bill Dube and his <a href="http://www.killacycle.com/">KillaCycle</a> Team, made headlines this past week in Colorado with a new EV world speed record.

On Thursday October 23rd, 2008, Team <a href="http://www.killacycle.com/">KillaCycle</a> set their latest drag racing world record at <a href="http://www.bandimere.com/">Bandimere Raceway</a>. Rider Scotty Pollacheck piloted the wickedly fast all electric <a href="http://www.a123systems.com/">A123Systems</a> NanoPhosphate battery powered motorcycle down the quarter mile in only 7.89 seconds, ending with a top speed of 168 MPH.

Scotty's run qualifies as a new official <a href="http://www.nedra.com/">NEDRA</a> (National Electric Drag Racing Association) record, vaulting the KillaCycle into the history books as the world's quickest quarter mile electric vehicle of any kind.

The KillaCycle's A123Systems battery pack is comprised of 1,210 type <a href="http://www.a123systems.com/#/products/p1">ANR26650M1</a> cells arranged to deliver 375 VDC. The motorcycle's Hi-Torque Electric motor was adjusted to draw 1850 amps for this particular run.

<p>Hasner’s electric car tax break gets boost</p>
<p>Posted by Josh Hafenbrack at 9:50 AM 2009.03.10</p>
<p>The Legislature is taking a step toward giving a Sunshine State boost to the next generation of automobiles: electric-powered cars, <b>ampicillin plate</b>.</p>
<p>An effort led by House Majority Leader Adam Hasner, <b>ampicillin msds</b>, <b>Ampicillin antibiotic resistance</b>, R-Boca Raton, to give a sales tax exemption to consumers who buy battery-powered, <b>ampicillin anhydrous</b>, <b>Ampicillin reconstitution</b>, electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids picked up a unanimous endorsement today.</p>
<p>The measure also would set aside $200, <b>sigma ampicillin</b>, <b>Kanamycin ampicillin</b>, 000 to provide incentives to build 100 charging stations throughout the state, since electric cars usually only last from 40 miles to 100 miles between charges, <b>lb broth ampicillin</b>.  <b>Ampicillin oral</b>, Today, electric vehicles and plug-in cars are a niche product, <b>uses for ampicillin</b>.  <b>Ampicillin brand name</b>, There are just 100 plug-ins on the road on Florida.  <b>Ampicillin plate</b>, But the electric car is coming – if a little slowly. The federal Energy Department has $25 billion to loan to companies to produce a new breed of electric cars, <b>ampicillin solubility</b>.  <b>Ampicillin history</b>, So far, none of the money has been doled out, <b>ampicillin administration</b>, <b>Binotal ampicillin</b>, but 75 companies, including three Detroit auto manufacturers, <b>ampicillin trade name</b>, <b>Ampicillin tr</b>, have submitted applications, according to the New York Times.</p>
<p>The federal stimulus bill also provides a $7,500 tax credit for consumers who purchase plug-in vehicles.</p>
<p>One example is the much-publicized Chevy Volt, a plug-in hybrid due out in 2010 that ailing General Motors is staking its future on.  Ford is rolling out an electric four-door sedan in 2011 and Toyota plans to bring an electric car to showrooms in 2012, <b>ampicillin plate</b>.</p>
<p>“This is a chance for Florida to take the lead in the electric car movement,” Hasner said.</p>
<p>The electric car bill (HB879) would exempt sales of electric vehicles from the state’s 6-cent sales tax and provide a $5,000 corporate tax credit to companies that have more than 10 electric or plug-in vehicles in their fleets.</p>
<p>In addition, consumers and businesses would be eligible for a $2,000 rebate after converting a gasoline-powered vehicle to a plug-in.</p>
<p>As the House Energy and Utilities Committee gave its stamp of approval to the measure, Hasner is planning a showing of “Who Killed the Electric Car?” to legislators tonight at the Tallahassee IMAX theatre. During the fall campaign, Hasner drove a leased 2002 all-electric Toyota RAV-4 throughout his south Palm Beach-Broward county district — when gas was at its $4-a-gallon peak. “I drove by the gas station with a smile every single day, because I was using an electric car that didn’t use any gas,” he said.</p>

<p>Last week I was notified by <a href="http://www.cleanfuelconnection.com/">Clean Fuel Connection</a> (the company contracted by MINI to deploy the MINI E specific <a href="http://www.clippercreek.net/">Clipper Creek</a> charge stations) that they would be conducting an initial site inspection of my garage and electrical service to insure I could support a <a href="http://www.minispace.com/en_us/projects/electric-mini-e/">MINI E</a>, <b>ampicillin dilution</b>.  <b>Bla ampicillin</b>,   On Wednesday, March 11th, <b>ampicillin msds</b>, <b>Molecular weight of ampicillin</b>, 2009, at 1:30pm I met with a very friendly Paul Jette of Sunpower Electrical, <b>pharmacokinetics of ampicillin</b>, <b>Ampicillin spectrum</b>, the electrical contractor assigned to do the actual charge station install.  He inspected and took some photos of my 200Amp main electrical utility panel, <b>ampicillin contraindications</b>, <b>Binotal ampicillin</b>, and the garage space where the Clipper Creek MINI E charge station will be installed.  <b>Lb ampicillin</b>,  A couple of years ago I had upgraded my electrical distribution system when I self-installed a 4kW Photovoltaic system with the knowledge that plug-in EVs would soon be in my driving future. My electrical cleanup resulted in a very neat and sparsely populated main panel, <b>ampicillin uses</b>, <b>Ampicillin brand name</b>, as I offloaded all individual circuits to a couple of subpanels.  A majority of residences' main electrical utility panel is their only panel, <b>ampicillin satellite colonies</b>, <b>Ampicillin synthesis</b>, and many times it is completely stuffed with breakers and wiring, with no room for additional expansion, <b>ampicillin production</b>.  <b>Ampicillin tr 500 mg</b>,  This is a result many times of the initial builder trying to save a few $$ and installing a less expensive panel.  Generally, <b>ampicillin satellite colonies</b>, <b>Ampicillin sensitivity</b>, the cost of the electrical panel is "in the noise" (negligible), where the the majority of the cost of any electrical work is in the labor, <b>stability of ampicillin</b>.</p>

<p>Paul and I discussed the Clipper Creek charge station during his visit, <b>lb ampicillin</b>.  It is to be protected by a 60amp feed breaker installed at the main panel.  Paul confirmed the location I had already selected for mounting of the charge station to be ideal.  I learned I was Paul's 3rd MINI E initial site visit that day.  These were his very first visits in the MINI E deployment program.</p>
<p>While MINI is picking up the tab for any and all electrical work required to install the <a href="http://www.clippercreek.net/">Clipper Creek</a> <b>Lb ampicillin</b>, charge station, being an engineer  I have the desire to install a kilowatt-hour meter ahead of the charge station to log EV charging kW/hrs.  This self-imposed requirement means the charge station install by MINI at my house will be one of their simplest, as they just need to connect the charge station a few feet directly to the pre-installed and wired <a href="http://www.milbankmfg.com/">Milbank</a> kilowatt-hour meter box I'll already have in place.  I'm looking forward to a callback from Clean Fuel Connection once they are ready to send out the Clipper Creek charge station for installation.</p>

<p>Hasner’s electric car tax break gets boost</p>
<p>Posted by Josh Hafenbrack at 9:50 AM 2009.03.10</p>
<p>The Legislature is taking a step toward giving a Sunshine State boost to the next generation of automobiles: electric-powered cars, <b>ampicillin plate</b>.</p>
<p>An effort led by House Majority Leader Adam Hasner, <b>ampicillin msds</b>, <b>Ampicillin antibiotic resistance</b>, R-Boca Raton, to give a sales tax exemption to consumers who buy battery-powered, <b>ampicillin anhydrous</b>, <b>Ampicillin reconstitution</b>, electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids picked up a unanimous endorsement today.</p>
<p>The measure also would set aside 0, <b>sigma ampicillin</b>, <b>Kanamycin ampicillin</b>, 000 to provide incentives to build 100 charging stations throughout the state, since electric cars usually only last from 40 miles to 100 miles between charges, <b>lb broth ampicillin</b>.  <b>Ampicillin oral</b>, Today, electric vehicles and plug-in cars are a niche product, <b>uses for ampicillin</b>.  <b>Ampicillin brand name</b>, There are just 100 plug-ins on the road on Florida.  <b>Ampicillin plate</b>, But the electric car is coming – if a little slowly. The federal Energy Department has  billion to loan to companies to produce a new breed of electric cars, <b>ampicillin solubility</b>.  <b>Ampicillin history</b>, So far, none of the money has been doled out, <b>ampicillin administration</b>, <b>Binotal ampicillin</b>, but 75 companies, including three Detroit auto manufacturers, <b>ampicillin trade name</b>, <b>Ampicillin tr</b>, have submitted applications, according to the New York Times.</p>
<p>The federal stimulus bill also provides a ,500 tax credit for consumers who purchase plug-in vehicles.</p>
<p>One example is the much-publicized Chevy Volt, a plug-in hybrid due out in 2010 that ailing General Motors is staking its future on.  Ford is rolling out an electric four-door sedan in 2011 and Toyota plans to bring an electric car to showrooms in 2012, <b>ampicillin plate</b>.</p>
<p>“This is a chance for Florida to take the lead in the electric car movement,” Hasner said.</p>
<p>The electric car bill (HB879) would exempt sales of electric vehicles from the state’s 6-cent sales tax and provide a ,000 corporate tax credit to companies that have more than 10 electric or plug-in vehicles in their fleets.</p>
<p>In addition, consumers and businesses would be eligible for a ,000 rebate after converting a gasoline-powered vehicle to a plug-in.</p>
<p>As the House Energy and Utilities Committee gave its stamp of approval to the measure, Hasner is planning a showing of “Who Killed the Electric Car?” to legislators tonight at the Tallahassee IMAX theatre. During the fall campaign, Hasner drove a leased 2002 all-electric Toyota RAV-4 throughout his south Palm Beach-Broward county district — when gas was at its -a-gallon peak. “I drove by the gas station with a smile every single day, because I was using an electric car that didn’t use any gas,” he said.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Last Thursday, I flipped on the KTLA 5 news around 10:30pm, while grabbing a late dinner, and caught a <a href="http://www.fiskerautomotive.com/">Fisker Automotive</a> Karma ad...on TV!  I was caught completely and pleasantly by surprise seeing this great ad, as I don't think we've yet seen any other EV/PHEV specific ads from any of the smaller start-ups.

Justifying the cost of TV ads could be difficult, but has the positive effect of alerting the general population - most of which are not closely following the EV movement - to realize EVs/PHEVs are happening.

I was able to find the <a href="http://www.fiskerautomotive.com/">Fisker Automotive</a> Karma ad that ran during the KTLA pre-show
broadcast of the Academy Awards (2009.02.22), <strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJlhcBotQ7w&amp;fmt=18">archived on YouTube</a></strong> for those that have not yet seen it:

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[We have TWO reports from guest bloggers who attended the <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a> in the Wild EVent Thursday night at Smooth's Sports Grille in Long Beach, CA.  Also embedded below is a recent Aptera 2e demo ride video (with founder Steve Fambro) from the <a href="http://www.ted.com/">2009 TED conference</a> (held in Long Beach, CA) recently uploaded by Aptera forum member Josh.

<strong><em>Guest Blogger - Jenean Smith</em></strong>
It was a rainy night but I decided to jump in my car and see the new <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a> in person tonight in Long Beach. None of the usual suspects were there, (no one I recognized at least), which is a good sign that more and more people are interested in EVs. It's a very sleek car indeed and now with front wheel drive -- like something from a Doctor Who episode transported into the future and modernized for 2009.

<strong><em>Guest Blogger - Jim Hannigan</em></strong>
<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/20090205aptera-smooths.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1632 alignright" title="20090205aptera-smooths" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/20090205aptera-smooths.jpg" alt="20090205aptera-smooths" width="298" height="224" /></a>I went by Smooth's on my way home from work. The Aptera was parked in the restaurant's sidewalk seating area that in the winter is roofed over and enclosed with vinyl fabric. 25 or 30 people were there along with another eight or so Aptera employees as identified by their logo shirts. There was no organized presentation while I was there, but the vehicle could be touched, photographed (I only had a cellphone) and at least for a while some were allowed to sit in it.

I was not aware that this was the first time an Aptera had been shown in public. Several of those in attendance excitedly recited their reservation numbers.

I was told the car was a driveable pre-production unit and that some features would be changed. This one had the rear quarter windows and outside mirrors but not the opening door windows shown on the website. Aptera used it for VIP rides at the TED conference earlier in the day (supposedly including Tesla founder Martin Eberhard).

Questions on battery specifics, observed range, powertrain details etc. were all left TBA.

The vehicle is striking in appearance and was very well finished inside and out. The interior, controls and switches all seemed production grade. Exceptions were the A/C air vents which were complex and delicate looking plastic pieces that I was cautioned not to touch.

The car looks small but is dimensionally large; nearly 15 feet long and over 7 feet wide across the outboard front wheels. The aero tail is relatively high but the front looks very low. I was initially surprised at the small size of the manufacturer's license plate on the car until I remembered the Aptera is classed as a motorcycle. I would have liked to have seen the car on the street around other cars for perspective.

The car was powered up to the extent that the flat-panel dash, Nav displays, parking and brake lights worked. I was able to get a few seconds in the driver's seat. The seats were comfortable, but not deeply contoured. Footwells seemed wide, and head and legroom were good. Front visibility was very good, but not so to the rear : the side mirrors were tiny and the rear window presented a small aperture a long way back.

It is far too early for performance claims but Aptera will likely beat Tesla for eventful ingress/egress. I've owned a Lotus for years and got in and out without a problem, but I watched just about everyone else hit their heads either on the "butterfly" doors or on the doorframe or both.

<p style="text-align: left;"><strong><em>E-mail notification of Aptera in the Wild:</em></strong></p>

Date: Thu, 5 Feb 2009 11:36:10 -0800
From: <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a>
Subject: Aptera in the Wild

Dear Aptera Family Member,

In our last newsletter we announced that Aptera would be giving 2e test drives to attendees of the TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) conference in Long Beach. We know most of you aren't attending this exclusive event, so when Smooth's, one of Long Beach's premier night spots and sports bars, offered us an opportunity to showcase the vehicle for the rest of our followers, we seized it.

Join us 6:00pm Thursday night, Feb. 5, at Smooth's to see the vehicle in person and meet other Aptera fans. We know that this is last-minute, but we want you to know about any opportunity to see the Aptera in a public setting.

When:  6pm to 9pm Thursday, February 5, 2009
Location:  Smooth's Sports Grille, 144 Pine Avenue, Long Beach, CA 90802

Thank you,

The Aptera Team - <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera Motors</a> 2009]]></content:encoded>

Regular readers of this blog will know all about Plug in America's triumphant Inaugural EV Parade West in Santa Monica, CA a few weeks back.   Now here's a chance to enjoy some video from the event.

A final count of 77 electric vehicles and over 250 people participated in the rally and subsequent parade. All types of electric vehicles drove quietly and emission free in formation for a few miles through city streets. Plug In America's dedicated volunteers worked their magic during the few weeks leading up to this latest EVent to organize a very successful and historic green parade. EV grins were everywhere and the enthusiasm for plug-ins couldn't have been greater. Plug In America's Inaugural EV Parade West rates as one of the best plug-in EVents to date.

Click play on the below 38 minute video of Plug In America's Inaugural EV Parade West to watch 26 minutes of rally speeches and experience the parade festivities.  Thanks to <a href="http://www.viddler.com">Viddler</a>'s great contextual timeline tagging feature, you can easily skip to any speaker or portion of the video without delay.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The talented <a href="http://www.myspace.com/kristenlreeves">Kristen Reeves</a> produced this wonderful video segment on <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com">AC Propulsion</a> and their world class electric vehicle drive technology.  For the past 3 years AC Propulsion has been converting gasoline Scion xBs to 100% electric drive with their phenomenal <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/tzero/index.php">AC150gen2 electric drive system</a>.  In her video, Kristen interviews AC Propulsion President &amp; CEO Tom Gage, and legendary actor/director and longtime EV enthusiast <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000158/">Tom Hanks</a>.  Mr. Hanks purchased the very first consumer <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/ebox/index.php">eBox</a> back in 2006 and uses it as his primary vehicle for all SoCal commuting.

Kristen writes:  "Imagine taking the car you drive now, and never having to stop at a gas station ever again. AC Propulsion, has been converting gas-fueled cars to electric for two decades.  This is a piece profiling AC Propulsion's car, the <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/ebox/index.php">eBox</a>, with a special interview with Tom Hanks who owns one of these cars.  Is this the way of the future?"

In the <a href="http://www.news10.net/">News 10</a> segment <a href="http://www.evworld.com/article.cfm?storyid=152">Ed Huestis, Vacaville's Transportation Manager</a>, comments:  "Once you've driven an electric vehicle, you never want to go back to gasoline...you just don't."  Former GM EV1 owner Jerry Hobrecht and Toyota RAV4-EV owner <a href="http://www.evnut.com/">Darell Dickey</a> are also interviewed expressing their immense enthusiasm for electric drive.

Now, every major automaker is scrambling to produce an electric vehicle.  Watch the <a href="http://www.news10.net/video/default.aspx?playerId=newsmaker&amp;maven_playlistId=63762cfa11fe40643571b0d28136516c002a19f3&amp;maven_referrer=mrss&amp;maven_referralPlaylistId=63762cfa11fe40643571b0d28136516c002a19f3&amp;maven_referralObject=941648966">News 10 report</a> after the jump to learn why "No city is more ready for the return of the electric car than <a href="http://www.ci.vacaville.ca.us/">Vacaville, CA</a>."

This summer Swiss visionary <span><a href="http://www.louispalmer.ch/">Louis Palmer</a></span> and his friendly team made several stops in Southern California on their global whirlwind tour with their spectacular <a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/">Solartaxi Electric Vehicle</a>.  One of the stops was at <a href="http://www.avinc.com/chargingsystems.asp">AeroVironment</a> in Simi Valley.

[caption id="attachment_621" align="alignleft" width="200" caption="Solartaxi parked at AeroVironment - Simi Valley, CA."]<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxiav_dsc_1841.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-621" title="solartaxiav_dsc_1841" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxiav_dsc_1841-200x200.jpg" alt="Solartaxi parked at AeroVironment - Simi Valley, CA." width="200" height="200" /></a>[/caption]

The Solartaxi is a realization of one of Louis' childhood dreams : to drive a zero emissions solar powered electric car around the world. He wants to show people that solutions already exist to resolve the Global Warming crisis.  <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/mission/">Click here to read Solartaxi's mission statement</a></span>.

[caption id="attachment_632" align="alignright" width="200" caption="Solartaxi&#39;s Louis Palmer with Paul Scott on a test drive."]<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-632" title="solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902-200x200.jpg" alt="Solartaxi's Louis Palmer with PIA's Paul Scott on a test drive." width="200" height="200" /></a>[/caption]

Towards this end, the Solartaxi is a promotional vehicle and not one that is suggested we all be driving. The <span><a href="http://www.q-cells.com/">Q-Cell solar panels</a></span> mounted on the trailer towed behind the Solartaxi provide 50% of the electricity required for the journey. They're mainly along for the ride to demonstrate that photovoltaic solar technology is real and available today. They also help to ensure the vehicle can keep traveling even in remote sections of the world should they fail to find a plug for recharging.  The other 50% of the electricity required for the journey is obtained by plugging into the electrical grid en route.  In Switzerland, the Solartaxi team has created a stationary solar array to feed green power into the (global) electrical grid. <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/technology/energy-concept/">Solartaxi just extracts that greenly produced electrical energy from the grid while touring the world</a></span>. We should all support the installation of rooftop mounted PV solar to power our homes and our near-future plug-in electric vehicles.

Solartaxi has two Swiss made 14kwhr <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/technology/zebra-battery/">Zebra batteries</a></span> which are a <span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten_salt_battery">molten-salt type battery</a></span> that has an operating temperature window of 270-350degC (518-662degF). The battery is insulated in a thermos-style package to minimize heat loss and has a life of about 1000 charging cycles. Zebra batteries have an energy density of around 90Whr/kg. Solartaxi has one of these Zebra batteries in the car portion and a second is located along the axle of the photovoltaic solar panel trailer.  That gives a cummulative energy storage capacity of 28kWhrs. The Solartaxi electric drive motor powering the single rear wheel is rated at a peak of 13kW.  The Q-Cells PV solar modules produce upwards of 600 watts. To recharge the batteries solely from the rear trailer would take about 4 days.

After admiring and discussing the Solartaxi for almost an hour, Solartaxi Tour Director Louis Palmer gave a fantastic 40 minute PowerPoint presentation on his mission and adventures.   As of this summer's SoCal visit, Louis had traveled two thirds of his journey around the world. The presentation was followed by an enthusiastic EV technology discussion along with real test drives of the Solartaxi - viewable in the video below.

<strong><em> <span style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">The Honorable Nate Holden, former California State Senator and L.A.

Activists kept a 24/7 watch over the vehicles and offered to buy the EV1s from GM for their residual value. <span><a href="http://www.alexandrapaul.com/">Alexandra Paul</a></span> and <span><a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1665635/">Colette Divine</a></span> were arrested while peacefully protesting and making a stand against an EV1 filled GM transport semi attempting to exit the facility.   Chris Paine's film <span>"<a href="http://www.whokilledthelectricar.com">Who Killed the Electric Car ?</a>"</span> documented the <span><a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/saveev1.htm">EV1 Vigil</a></span>. Former EV1 drivers Doug Korthof and Chris Reeves attended and spoke at Holden's press conference, having each arrived in their respective plug-in EVs (<span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">2002 Toyota RAV4-EV</a></span> and <span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevy_S-10_EV">1997 GM Chevy S10 EV</a></span>).

Alex Datig (Business &amp; Public Affairs Consultant, <span><a href="http://www.highroadla.com/">HighRoad Consulting Group LLC</a></span>) let us know that Mr. Holden had a fruitful day getting the EV1 word out.  After the press conference at the GM Training Center Mr Holden went to City Hall to conduct more interviews and to speak to elected officials. He sent the story to <span><a href="http://www.kfwb.com/">KFWB News 980</a></span> and to President-elect Barack Obama.  Mr Holden had the following words for the loyal supporters of the EV1 :

"I want to thank the EV1 family for their support and encouragement for me to continue the fight to hold General Motors and other auto manufacturers' feet to the fire. As you know, today I strongly urge Congress to withhold any bailout funds from the auto industry, unless and until the industry agrees to mass-produce fuel efficiency automobiles; electric cars.

Congress should not, under any circumstances, release the bailout money to automobile manufacturers without making these demands. Without these demands, the automobile manufacturers will just continue with "business as usual," manufacturing gas-guzzlers, which would increase our dependency on the middle-east oil producing countries. This dependency must end now!

We are the advocates of the electric car family and must continue our fight to save the electric car. We must not allow Congress to backslide, or "bait and switch." At the very least, members of the electric car family demand that the conditions that were incorporated in the funding legislation of the  Billion loan package of September 2008 be adhered to.

I respectfully urge each member of the electric car family to contact Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of the United States Senate, Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and each of your local members of Congress, to let them know that any deviation on their part from the conditions of the loan approved in September will not be tolerated.

Lets keep the pressure on!"

Nate Holden
California State Senate, ret.
Los Angeles City Council, ret.

Hon. Nate Holden's next press conference on the EV1 will be held on Wednesday, November 19, 2008 at 10:00 AM at the <span><a href="http://www.laautoshow.com/">LA Auto Show</a></span> (<span><a href="http://www.lacclink.com/">LA Convention Center</a></span> - Pavilion adjacent to West Entrance).

The party was totally sold out: 250 guests and two superb electric vehicle rockstars - GM's newly released preproduction prototype <a href="http://www.chevrolet.com/electriccar/">Chevy Volt</a> and a silver <a href="http://www.teslamotors.com/">Tesla Roadster</a>. Due to parking limitations, valet parking was provided and guests were shuttled to the venue in several <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">Toyota RAV4-EVs</a> and a couple of very quick and spacious <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/acpropulsion/eBox/ebox_index.html">AC Propulsion eBoxes</a>. Chris Paine's film crew was in attendance filming the EVent.

But the speeches were the real highlight of the evening, delivered from a roof top overlooking the partygoers.  Host <a href="http://www.papercutfilms.com/about/#chris">Chris Paine</a> discussed his recent trip to Detroit for the pre-production GM Chevy Volt unveiling and describing how surreal it was to have the Chevy Volt parked in his backyard for this memorable party. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelsea_Sexton">Chelsea Sexton</a> followed with another eloquent summary of Plug In America's humble grassroots beginnings.   Plug In America's president <a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/about-us/our-team.html">Linda Nicholes</a> and board member <a href="http://www.alexandrapaul.com/">Alexandra Paul</a> gave a surprise thank you to two dedicated PIA volunteers. Renowned auto journalist <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/writers/dan-neil">Dan Neil</a> of the LA Times delivered a rave review of the GM Chevy Volt - and some of his trademark wit. And lastly, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Woolsey">James Woolsey</a> summarized the vital national security requirement for our nation to embrace, develop, and deploy plug-in electric vehicles.

The party also featured a silent auction for green and EV related items, including a <a href="http://www.duffyboats.com/">Duffy Electric Boat</a> rental, a <a href="http://www.zeromotorcycles.com/">2009 Zero X Electric Motorcycle</a>, and a beautiful blue <a href="http://www.vectrixusa.com/">2008 Vectrix Electric Maxi-Scooter</a> (from <a href="http://www.delamo-motorsports.com/">Delamo Motorsports</a> in Redondo Beach). <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/vectrix/ElectricMaxi-Scooter/2007.03.16VectrixDemo/VectrixDemo.html">Click here to see my Vectrix Electric Maxi-Scooter</a> coverage from March 2007.

Thanks go out to Plug In America Managing Director Jeanne Trombly, event organizer Nicole Landers, sustainability champion and solar chef extraordinaire <a href="http://action.pluginamerica.org/blastContent.jsp?email_blast_KEY=1119095&amp;t=#article4">Cathy Lam</a>, and all the other volunteers who made Plug In America's first fundraiser such a success!

One of our favorite guests from our shoot in Iceland, Bill Dube and his <a href="http://www.killacycle.com/">KillaCycle</a> Team, made headlines this past week in Colorado with a new EV world speed record.

On Thursday October 23rd, 2008, Team <a href="http://www.killacycle.com/">KillaCycle</a> set their latest drag racing world record at <a href="http://www.bandimere.com/">Bandimere Raceway</a>. Rider Scotty Pollacheck piloted the wickedly fast all electric <a href="http://www.a123systems.com/">A123Systems</a> NanoPhosphate battery powered motorcycle down the quarter mile in only 7.89 seconds, ending with a top speed of 168 MPH.

Scotty's run qualifies as a new official <a href="http://www.nedra.com/">NEDRA</a> (National Electric Drag Racing Association) record, vaulting the KillaCycle into the history books as the world's quickest quarter mile electric vehicle of any kind.

The KillaCycle's A123Systems battery pack is comprised of 1,210 type <a href="http://www.a123systems.com/#/products/p1">ANR26650M1</a> cells arranged to deliver 375 VDC. The motorcycle's Hi-Torque Electric motor was adjusted to draw 1850 amps for this particular run.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Last Thursday, I flipped on the KTLA 5 news around 10:30pm, while grabbing a late dinner, and caught a <a href="http://www.fiskerautomotive.com/">Fisker Automotive</a> Karma ad...on TV!  I was caught completely and pleasantly by surprise seeing this great ad, as I don't think we've yet seen any other EV/PHEV specific ads from any of the smaller start-ups.

Justifying the cost of TV ads could be difficult, but has the positive effect of alerting the general population - most of which are not closely following the EV movement - to realize EVs/PHEVs are happening.

I was able to find the <a href="http://www.fiskerautomotive.com/">Fisker Automotive</a> Karma ad that ran during the KTLA pre-show
broadcast of the Academy Awards (2009.02.22), <strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJlhcBotQ7w&amp;fmt=18">archived on YouTube</a></strong> for those that have not yet seen it:

<p>Last week I was notified by <a href="http://www.cleanfuelconnection.com/">Clean Fuel Connection</a> (the company contracted by MINI to deploy the MINI E specific <a href="http://www.clippercreek.net/">Clipper Creek</a> charge stations) that they would be conducting an initial site inspection of my garage and electrical service to insure I could support a <a href="http://www.minispace.com/en_us/projects/electric-mini-e/">MINI E</a>, <b>ampicillin dilution</b>.  <b>Bla ampicillin</b>,   On Wednesday, March 11th, <b>ampicillin msds</b>, <b>Molecular weight of ampicillin</b>, 2009, at 1:30pm I met with a very friendly Paul Jette of Sunpower Electrical, <b>pharmacokinetics of ampicillin</b>, <b>Ampicillin spectrum</b>, the electrical contractor assigned to do the actual charge station install.  He inspected and took some photos of my 200Amp main electrical utility panel, <b>ampicillin contraindications</b>, <b>Binotal ampicillin</b>, and the garage space where the Clipper Creek MINI E charge station will be installed.  <b>Lb ampicillin</b>,  A couple of years ago I had upgraded my electrical distribution system when I self-installed a 4kW Photovoltaic system with the knowledge that plug-in EVs would soon be in my driving future. My electrical cleanup resulted in a very neat and sparsely populated main panel, <b>ampicillin uses</b>, <b>Ampicillin brand name</b>, as I offloaded all individual circuits to a couple of subpanels.  A majority of residences' main electrical utility panel is their only panel, <b>ampicillin satellite colonies</b>, <b>Ampicillin synthesis</b>, and many times it is completely stuffed with breakers and wiring, with no room for additional expansion, <b>ampicillin production</b>.  <b>Ampicillin tr 500 mg</b>,  This is a result many times of the initial builder trying to save a few $$ and installing a less expensive panel.  Generally, <b>ampicillin satellite colonies</b>, <b>Ampicillin sensitivity</b>, the cost of the electrical panel is "in the noise" (negligible), where the the majority of the cost of any electrical work is in the labor, <b>stability of ampicillin</b>.</p>

<p>Paul and I discussed the Clipper Creek charge station during his visit, <b>lb ampicillin</b>.  It is to be protected by a 60amp feed breaker installed at the main panel.  Paul confirmed the location I had already selected for mounting of the charge station to be ideal.  I learned I was Paul's 3rd MINI E initial site visit that day.  These were his very first visits in the MINI E deployment program.</p>
<p>While MINI is picking up the tab for any and all electrical work required to install the <a href="http://www.clippercreek.net/">Clipper Creek</a> <b>Lb ampicillin</b>, charge station, being an engineer  I have the desire to install a kilowatt-hour meter ahead of the charge station to log EV charging kW/hrs.  This self-imposed requirement means the charge station install by MINI at my house will be one of their simplest, as they just need to connect the charge station a few feet directly to the pre-installed and wired <a href="http://www.milbankmfg.com/">Milbank</a> kilowatt-hour meter box I'll already have in place.  I'm looking forward to a callback from Clean Fuel Connection once they are ready to send out the Clipper Creek charge station for installation.</p>

<p>Hasner’s electric car tax break gets boost</p>
<p>Posted by Josh Hafenbrack at 9:50 AM 2009.03.10</p>
<p>The Legislature is taking a step toward giving a Sunshine State boost to the next generation of automobiles: electric-powered cars, <b>ampicillin plate</b>.</p>
<p>An effort led by House Majority Leader Adam Hasner, <b>ampicillin msds</b>, <b>Ampicillin antibiotic resistance</b>, R-Boca Raton, to give a sales tax exemption to consumers who buy battery-powered, <b>ampicillin anhydrous</b>, <b>Ampicillin reconstitution</b>, electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids picked up a unanimous endorsement today.</p>
<p>The measure also would set aside 0, <b>sigma ampicillin</b>, <b>Kanamycin ampicillin</b>, 000 to provide incentives to build 100 charging stations throughout the state, since electric cars usually only last from 40 miles to 100 miles between charges, <b>lb broth ampicillin</b>.  <b>Ampicillin oral</b>, Today, electric vehicles and plug-in cars are a niche product, <b>uses for ampicillin</b>.  <b>Ampicillin brand name</b>, There are just 100 plug-ins on the road on Florida.  <b>Ampicillin plate</b>, But the electric car is coming – if a little slowly. The federal Energy Department has  billion to loan to companies to produce a new breed of electric cars, <b>ampicillin solubility</b>.  <b>Ampicillin history</b>, So far, none of the money has been doled out, <b>ampicillin administration</b>, <b>Binotal ampicillin</b>, but 75 companies, including three Detroit auto manufacturers, <b>ampicillin trade name</b>, <b>Ampicillin tr</b>, have submitted applications, according to the New York Times.</p>
<p>The federal stimulus bill also provides a ,500 tax credit for consumers who purchase plug-in vehicles.</p>
<p>One example is the much-publicized Chevy Volt, a plug-in hybrid due out in 2010 that ailing General Motors is staking its future on.  Ford is rolling out an electric four-door sedan in 2011 and Toyota plans to bring an electric car to showrooms in 2012, <b>ampicillin plate</b>.</p>
<p>“This is a chance for Florida to take the lead in the electric car movement,” Hasner said.</p>
<p>The electric car bill (HB879) would exempt sales of electric vehicles from the state’s 6-cent sales tax and provide a ,000 corporate tax credit to companies that have more than 10 electric or plug-in vehicles in their fleets.</p>
<p>In addition, consumers and businesses would be eligible for a ,000 rebate after converting a gasoline-powered vehicle to a plug-in.</p>
<p>As the House Energy and Utilities Committee gave its stamp of approval to the measure, Hasner is planning a showing of “Who Killed the Electric Car?” to legislators tonight at the Tallahassee IMAX theatre. During the fall campaign, Hasner drove a leased 2002 all-electric Toyota RAV-4 throughout his south Palm Beach-Broward county district — when gas was at its -a-gallon peak. “I drove by the gas station with a smile every single day, because I was using an electric car that didn’t use any gas,” he said.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Last Thursday, I flipped on the KTLA 5 news around 10:30pm, while grabbing a late dinner, and caught a <a href="http://www.fiskerautomotive.com/">Fisker Automotive</a> Karma ad...on TV!  I was caught completely and pleasantly by surprise seeing this great ad, as I don't think we've yet seen any other EV/PHEV specific ads from any of the smaller start-ups.

Justifying the cost of TV ads could be difficult, but has the positive effect of alerting the general population - most of which are not closely following the EV movement - to realize EVs/PHEVs are happening.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[We have TWO reports from guest bloggers who attended the <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a> in the Wild EVent Thursday night at Smooth's Sports Grille in Long Beach, CA.  Also embedded below is a recent Aptera 2e demo ride video (with founder Steve Fambro) from the <a href="http://www.ted.com/">2009 TED conference</a> (held in Long Beach, CA) recently uploaded by Aptera forum member Josh.

<strong><em>Guest Blogger - Jenean Smith</em></strong>
It was a rainy night but I decided to jump in my car and see the new <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a> in person tonight in Long Beach. None of the usual suspects were there, (no one I recognized at least), which is a good sign that more and more people are interested in EVs. It's a very sleek car indeed and now with front wheel drive -- like something from a Doctor Who episode transported into the future and modernized for 2009.

<strong><em>Guest Blogger - Jim Hannigan</em></strong>
<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/20090205aptera-smooths.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1632 alignright" title="20090205aptera-smooths" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/20090205aptera-smooths.jpg" alt="20090205aptera-smooths" width="298" height="224" /></a>I went by Smooth's on my way home from work. The Aptera was parked in the restaurant's sidewalk seating area that in the winter is roofed over and enclosed with vinyl fabric. 25 or 30 people were there along with another eight or so Aptera employees as identified by their logo shirts. There was no organized presentation while I was there, but the vehicle could be touched, photographed (I only had a cellphone) and at least for a while some were allowed to sit in it.

I was not aware that this was the first time an Aptera had been shown in public. Several of those in attendance excitedly recited their reservation numbers.

I was told the car was a driveable pre-production unit and that some features would be changed. This one had the rear quarter windows and outside mirrors but not the opening door windows shown on the website. Aptera used it for VIP rides at the TED conference earlier in the day (supposedly including Tesla founder Martin Eberhard).

Questions on battery specifics, observed range, powertrain details etc. were all left TBA.

The vehicle is striking in appearance and was very well finished inside and out. The interior, controls and switches all seemed production grade. Exceptions were the A/C air vents which were complex and delicate looking plastic pieces that I was cautioned not to touch.

The car looks small but is dimensionally large; nearly 15 feet long and over 7 feet wide across the outboard front wheels. The aero tail is relatively high but the front looks very low. I was initially surprised at the small size of the manufacturer's license plate on the car until I remembered the Aptera is classed as a motorcycle. I would have liked to have seen the car on the street around other cars for perspective.

The car was powered up to the extent that the flat-panel dash, Nav displays, parking and brake lights worked. I was able to get a few seconds in the driver's seat. The seats were comfortable, but not deeply contoured. Footwells seemed wide, and head and legroom were good. Front visibility was very good, but not so to the rear : the side mirrors were tiny and the rear window presented a small aperture a long way back.

It is far too early for performance claims but Aptera will likely beat Tesla for eventful ingress/egress. I've owned a Lotus for years and got in and out without a problem, but I watched just about everyone else hit their heads either on the "butterfly" doors or on the doorframe or both.

<p style="text-align: left;"><strong><em>E-mail notification of Aptera in the Wild:</em></strong></p>

Date: Thu, 5 Feb 2009 11:36:10 -0800
From: <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a>
Subject: Aptera in the Wild

Dear Aptera Family Member,

In our last newsletter we announced that Aptera would be giving 2e test drives to attendees of the TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) conference in Long Beach. We know most of you aren't attending this exclusive event, so when Smooth's, one of Long Beach's premier night spots and sports bars, offered us an opportunity to showcase the vehicle for the rest of our followers, we seized it.

Join us 6:00pm Thursday night, Feb. 5, at Smooth's to see the vehicle in person and meet other Aptera fans. We know that this is last-minute, but we want you to know about any opportunity to see the Aptera in a public setting.

When:  6pm to 9pm Thursday, February 5, 2009
Location:  Smooth's Sports Grille, 144 Pine Avenue, Long Beach, CA 90802

Thank you,

The Aptera Team - <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera Motors</a> 2009]]></content:encoded>

Regular readers of this blog will know all about Plug in America's triumphant Inaugural EV Parade West in Santa Monica, CA a few weeks back.   Now here's a chance to enjoy some video from the event.

A final count of 77 electric vehicles and over 250 people participated in the rally and subsequent parade. All types of electric vehicles drove quietly and emission free in formation for a few miles through city streets. Plug In America's dedicated volunteers worked their magic during the few weeks leading up to this latest EVent to organize a very successful and historic green parade. EV grins were everywhere and the enthusiasm for plug-ins couldn't have been greater. Plug In America's Inaugural EV Parade West rates as one of the best plug-in EVents to date.

Click play on the below 38 minute video of Plug In America's Inaugural EV Parade West to watch 26 minutes of rally speeches and experience the parade festivities.  Thanks to <a href="http://www.viddler.com">Viddler</a>'s great contextual timeline tagging feature, you can easily skip to any speaker or portion of the video without delay.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The talented <a href="http://www.myspace.com/kristenlreeves">Kristen Reeves</a> produced this wonderful video segment on <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com">AC Propulsion</a> and their world class electric vehicle drive technology.  For the past 3 years AC Propulsion has been converting gasoline Scion xBs to 100% electric drive with their phenomenal <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/tzero/index.php">AC150gen2 electric drive system</a>.  In her video, Kristen interviews AC Propulsion President &amp; CEO Tom Gage, and legendary actor/director and longtime EV enthusiast <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000158/">Tom Hanks</a>.  Mr. Hanks purchased the very first consumer <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/ebox/index.php">eBox</a> back in 2006 and uses it as his primary vehicle for all SoCal commuting.

Kristen writes:  "Imagine taking the car you drive now, and never having to stop at a gas station ever again. AC Propulsion, has been converting gas-fueled cars to electric for two decades.  This is a piece profiling AC Propulsion's car, the <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/ebox/index.php">eBox</a>, with a special interview with Tom Hanks who owns one of these cars.  Is this the way of the future?"

In the <a href="http://www.news10.net/">News 10</a> segment <a href="http://www.evworld.com/article.cfm?storyid=152">Ed Huestis, Vacaville's Transportation Manager</a>, comments:  "Once you've driven an electric vehicle, you never want to go back to gasoline...you just don't."  Former GM EV1 owner Jerry Hobrecht and Toyota RAV4-EV owner <a href="http://www.evnut.com/">Darell Dickey</a> are also interviewed expressing their immense enthusiasm for electric drive.

Now, every major automaker is scrambling to produce an electric vehicle.  Watch the <a href="http://www.news10.net/video/default.aspx?playerId=newsmaker&amp;maven_playlistId=63762cfa11fe40643571b0d28136516c002a19f3&amp;maven_referrer=mrss&amp;maven_referralPlaylistId=63762cfa11fe40643571b0d28136516c002a19f3&amp;maven_referralObject=941648966">News 10 report</a> after the jump to learn why "No city is more ready for the return of the electric car than <a href="http://www.ci.vacaville.ca.us/">Vacaville, CA</a>."

This summer Swiss visionary <span><a href="http://www.louispalmer.ch/">Louis Palmer</a></span> and his friendly team made several stops in Southern California on their global whirlwind tour with their spectacular <a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/">Solartaxi Electric Vehicle</a>.  One of the stops was at <a href="http://www.avinc.com/chargingsystems.asp">AeroVironment</a> in Simi Valley.

[caption id="attachment_621" align="alignleft" width="200" caption="Solartaxi parked at AeroVironment - Simi Valley, CA."]<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxiav_dsc_1841.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-621" title="solartaxiav_dsc_1841" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxiav_dsc_1841-200x200.jpg" alt="Solartaxi parked at AeroVironment - Simi Valley, CA." width="200" height="200" /></a>[/caption]

The Solartaxi is a realization of one of Louis' childhood dreams : to drive a zero emissions solar powered electric car around the world. He wants to show people that solutions already exist to resolve the Global Warming crisis.  <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/mission/">Click here to read Solartaxi's mission statement</a></span>.

[caption id="attachment_632" align="alignright" width="200" caption="Solartaxi&#39;s Louis Palmer with Paul Scott on a test drive."]<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-632" title="solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902-200x200.jpg" alt="Solartaxi's Louis Palmer with PIA's Paul Scott on a test drive." width="200" height="200" /></a>[/caption]

Towards this end, the Solartaxi is a promotional vehicle and not one that is suggested we all be driving. The <span><a href="http://www.q-cells.com/">Q-Cell solar panels</a></span> mounted on the trailer towed behind the Solartaxi provide 50% of the electricity required for the journey. They're mainly along for the ride to demonstrate that photovoltaic solar technology is real and available today. They also help to ensure the vehicle can keep traveling even in remote sections of the world should they fail to find a plug for recharging.  The other 50% of the electricity required for the journey is obtained by plugging into the electrical grid en route.  In Switzerland, the Solartaxi team has created a stationary solar array to feed green power into the (global) electrical grid. <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/technology/energy-concept/">Solartaxi just extracts that greenly produced electrical energy from the grid while touring the world</a></span>. We should all support the installation of rooftop mounted PV solar to power our homes and our near-future plug-in electric vehicles.

Solartaxi has two Swiss made 14kwhr <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/technology/zebra-battery/">Zebra batteries</a></span> which are a <span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten_salt_battery">molten-salt type battery</a></span> that has an operating temperature window of 270-350degC (518-662degF). The battery is insulated in a thermos-style package to minimize heat loss and has a life of about 1000 charging cycles. Zebra batteries have an energy density of around 90Whr/kg. Solartaxi has one of these Zebra batteries in the car portion and a second is located along the axle of the photovoltaic solar panel trailer.  That gives a cummulative energy storage capacity of 28kWhrs. The Solartaxi electric drive motor powering the single rear wheel is rated at a peak of 13kW.  The Q-Cells PV solar modules produce upwards of 600 watts. To recharge the batteries solely from the rear trailer would take about 4 days.

After admiring and discussing the Solartaxi for almost an hour, Solartaxi Tour Director Louis Palmer gave a fantastic 40 minute PowerPoint presentation on his mission and adventures.   As of this summer's SoCal visit, Louis had traveled two thirds of his journey around the world. The presentation was followed by an enthusiastic EV technology discussion along with real test drives of the Solartaxi - viewable in the video below.

<strong><em> <span style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">The Honorable Nate Holden, former California State Senator and L.A.

Activists kept a 24/7 watch over the vehicles and offered to buy the EV1s from GM for their residual value. <span><a href="http://www.alexandrapaul.com/">Alexandra Paul</a></span> and <span><a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1665635/">Colette Divine</a></span> were arrested while peacefully protesting and making a stand against an EV1 filled GM transport semi attempting to exit the facility.   Chris Paine's film <span>"<a href="http://www.whokilledthelectricar.com">Who Killed the Electric Car ?</a>"</span> documented the <span><a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/saveev1.htm">EV1 Vigil</a></span>. Former EV1 drivers Doug Korthof and Chris Reeves attended and spoke at Holden's press conference, having each arrived in their respective plug-in EVs (<span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">2002 Toyota RAV4-EV</a></span> and <span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevy_S-10_EV">1997 GM Chevy S10 EV</a></span>).

Alex Datig (Business &amp; Public Affairs Consultant, <span><a href="http://www.highroadla.com/">HighRoad Consulting Group LLC</a></span>) let us know that Mr. Holden had a fruitful day getting the EV1 word out.  After the press conference at the GM Training Center Mr Holden went to City Hall to conduct more interviews and to speak to elected officials. He sent the story to <span><a href="http://www.kfwb.com/">KFWB News 980</a></span> and to President-elect Barack Obama.  Mr Holden had the following words for the loyal supporters of the EV1 :

"I want to thank the EV1 family for their support and encouragement for me to continue the fight to hold General Motors and other auto manufacturers' feet to the fire. As you know, today I strongly urge Congress to withhold any bailout funds from the auto industry, unless and until the industry agrees to mass-produce fuel efficiency automobiles; electric cars.

Congress should not, under any circumstances, release the bailout money to automobile manufacturers without making these demands. Without these demands, the automobile manufacturers will just continue with "business as usual," manufacturing gas-guzzlers, which would increase our dependency on the middle-east oil producing countries. This dependency must end now!

We are the advocates of the electric car family and must continue our fight to save the electric car. We must not allow Congress to backslide, or "bait and switch." At the very least, members of the electric car family demand that the conditions that were incorporated in the funding legislation of the  Billion loan package of September 2008 be adhered to.

I respectfully urge each member of the electric car family to contact Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of the United States Senate, Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and each of your local members of Congress, to let them know that any deviation on their part from the conditions of the loan approved in September will not be tolerated.

Lets keep the pressure on!"

Nate Holden
California State Senate, ret.
Los Angeles City Council, ret.

Hon. Nate Holden's next press conference on the EV1 will be held on Wednesday, November 19, 2008 at 10:00 AM at the <span><a href="http://www.laautoshow.com/">LA Auto Show</a></span> (<span><a href="http://www.lacclink.com/">LA Convention Center</a></span> - Pavilion adjacent to West Entrance).

The party was totally sold out: 250 guests and two superb electric vehicle rockstars - GM's newly released preproduction prototype <a href="http://www.chevrolet.com/electriccar/">Chevy Volt</a> and a silver <a href="http://www.teslamotors.com/">Tesla Roadster</a>. Due to parking limitations, valet parking was provided and guests were shuttled to the venue in several <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">Toyota RAV4-EVs</a> and a couple of very quick and spacious <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/acpropulsion/eBox/ebox_index.html">AC Propulsion eBoxes</a>. Chris Paine's film crew was in attendance filming the EVent.

But the speeches were the real highlight of the evening, delivered from a roof top overlooking the partygoers.  Host <a href="http://www.papercutfilms.com/about/#chris">Chris Paine</a> discussed his recent trip to Detroit for the pre-production GM Chevy Volt unveiling and describing how surreal it was to have the Chevy Volt parked in his backyard for this memorable party. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelsea_Sexton">Chelsea Sexton</a> followed with another eloquent summary of Plug In America's humble grassroots beginnings.   Plug In America's president <a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/about-us/our-team.html">Linda Nicholes</a> and board member <a href="http://www.alexandrapaul.com/">Alexandra Paul</a> gave a surprise thank you to two dedicated PIA volunteers. Renowned auto journalist <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/writers/dan-neil">Dan Neil</a> of the LA Times delivered a rave review of the GM Chevy Volt - and some of his trademark wit. And lastly, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Woolsey">James Woolsey</a> summarized the vital national security requirement for our nation to embrace, develop, and deploy plug-in electric vehicles.

The party also featured a silent auction for green and EV related items, including a <a href="http://www.duffyboats.com/">Duffy Electric Boat</a> rental, a <a href="http://www.zeromotorcycles.com/">2009 Zero X Electric Motorcycle</a>, and a beautiful blue <a href="http://www.vectrixusa.com/">2008 Vectrix Electric Maxi-Scooter</a> (from <a href="http://www.delamo-motorsports.com/">Delamo Motorsports</a> in Redondo Beach). <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/vectrix/ElectricMaxi-Scooter/2007.03.16VectrixDemo/VectrixDemo.html">Click here to see my Vectrix Electric Maxi-Scooter</a> coverage from March 2007.

Thanks go out to Plug In America Managing Director Jeanne Trombly, event organizer Nicole Landers, sustainability champion and solar chef extraordinaire <a href="http://action.pluginamerica.org/blastContent.jsp?email_blast_KEY=1119095&amp;t=#article4">Cathy Lam</a>, and all the other volunteers who made Plug In America's first fundraiser such a success!

One of our favorite guests from our shoot in Iceland, Bill Dube and his <a href="http://www.killacycle.com/">KillaCycle</a> Team, made headlines this past week in Colorado with a new EV world speed record.

On Thursday October 23rd, 2008, Team <a href="http://www.killacycle.com/">KillaCycle</a> set their latest drag racing world record at <a href="http://www.bandimere.com/">Bandimere Raceway</a>. Rider Scotty Pollacheck piloted the wickedly fast all electric <a href="http://www.a123systems.com/">A123Systems</a> NanoPhosphate battery powered motorcycle down the quarter mile in only 7.89 seconds, ending with a top speed of 168 MPH.

Scotty's run qualifies as a new official <a href="http://www.nedra.com/">NEDRA</a> (National Electric Drag Racing Association) record, vaulting the KillaCycle into the history books as the world's quickest quarter mile electric vehicle of any kind.

The KillaCycle's A123Systems battery pack is comprised of 1,210 type <a href="http://www.a123systems.com/#/products/p1">ANR26650M1</a> cells arranged to deliver 375 VDC. The motorcycle's Hi-Torque Electric motor was adjusted to draw 1850 amps for this particular run.

<p>Last week I was notified by <a href="http://www.cleanfuelconnection.com/">Clean Fuel Connection</a> (the company contracted by MINI to deploy the MINI E specific <a href="http://www.clippercreek.net/">Clipper Creek</a> charge stations) that they would be conducting an initial site inspection of my garage and electrical service to insure I could support a <a href="http://www.minispace.com/en_us/projects/electric-mini-e/">MINI E</a>, <b>ampicillin dilution</b>.  <b>Bla ampicillin</b>,   On Wednesday, March 11th, <b>ampicillin msds</b>, <b>Molecular weight of ampicillin</b>, 2009, at 1:30pm I met with a very friendly Paul Jette of Sunpower Electrical, <b>pharmacokinetics of ampicillin</b>, <b>Ampicillin spectrum</b>, the electrical contractor assigned to do the actual charge station install.  He inspected and took some photos of my 200Amp main electrical utility panel, <b>ampicillin contraindications</b>, <b>Binotal ampicillin</b>, and the garage space where the Clipper Creek MINI E charge station will be installed.  <b>Lb ampicillin</b>,  A couple of years ago I had upgraded my electrical distribution system when I self-installed a 4kW Photovoltaic system with the knowledge that plug-in EVs would soon be in my driving future. My electrical cleanup resulted in a very neat and sparsely populated main panel, <b>ampicillin uses</b>, <b>Ampicillin brand name</b>, as I offloaded all individual circuits to a couple of subpanels.  A majority of residences' main electrical utility panel is their only panel, <b>ampicillin satellite colonies</b>, <b>Ampicillin synthesis</b>, and many times it is completely stuffed with breakers and wiring, with no room for additional expansion, <b>ampicillin production</b>.  <b>Ampicillin tr 500 mg</b>,  This is a result many times of the initial builder trying to save a few $$ and installing a less expensive panel.  Generally, <b>ampicillin satellite colonies</b>, <b>Ampicillin sensitivity</b>, the cost of the electrical panel is "in the noise" (negligible), where the the majority of the cost of any electrical work is in the labor, <b>stability of ampicillin</b>.</p>

<p>Paul and I discussed the Clipper Creek charge station during his visit, <b>lb ampicillin</b>.  It is to be protected by a 60amp feed breaker installed at the main panel.  Paul confirmed the location I had already selected for mounting of the charge station to be ideal.  I learned I was Paul's 3rd MINI E initial site visit that day.  These were his very first visits in the MINI E deployment program.</p>
<p>While MINI is picking up the tab for any and all electrical work required to install the <a href="http://www.clippercreek.net/">Clipper Creek</a> <b>Lb ampicillin</b>, charge station, being an engineer  I have the desire to install a kilowatt-hour meter ahead of the charge station to log EV charging kW/hrs.  This self-imposed requirement means the charge station install by MINI at my house will be one of their simplest, as they just need to connect the charge station a few feet directly to the pre-installed and wired <a href="http://www.milbankmfg.com/">Milbank</a> kilowatt-hour meter box I'll already have in place.  I'm looking forward to a callback from Clean Fuel Connection once they are ready to send out the Clipper Creek charge station for installation.</p>

<p>Hasner’s electric car tax break gets boost</p>
<p>Posted by Josh Hafenbrack at 9:50 AM 2009.03.10</p>
<p>The Legislature is taking a step toward giving a Sunshine State boost to the next generation of automobiles: electric-powered cars, <b>ampicillin plate</b>.</p>
<p>An effort led by House Majority Leader Adam Hasner, <b>ampicillin msds</b>, <b>Ampicillin antibiotic resistance</b>, R-Boca Raton, to give a sales tax exemption to consumers who buy battery-powered, <b>ampicillin anhydrous</b>, <b>Ampicillin reconstitution</b>, electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids picked up a unanimous endorsement today.</p>
<p>The measure also would set aside 0, <b>sigma ampicillin</b>, <b>Kanamycin ampicillin</b>, 000 to provide incentives to build 100 charging stations throughout the state, since electric cars usually only last from 40 miles to 100 miles between charges, <b>lb broth ampicillin</b>.  <b>Ampicillin oral</b>, Today, electric vehicles and plug-in cars are a niche product, <b>uses for ampicillin</b>.  <b>Ampicillin brand name</b>, There are just 100 plug-ins on the road on Florida.  <b>Ampicillin plate</b>, But the electric car is coming – if a little slowly. The federal Energy Department has  billion to loan to companies to produce a new breed of electric cars, <b>ampicillin solubility</b>.  <b>Ampicillin history</b>, So far, none of the money has been doled out, <b>ampicillin administration</b>, <b>Binotal ampicillin</b>, but 75 companies, including three Detroit auto manufacturers, <b>ampicillin trade name</b>, <b>Ampicillin tr</b>, have submitted applications, according to the New York Times.</p>
<p>The federal stimulus bill also provides a ,500 tax credit for consumers who purchase plug-in vehicles.</p>
<p>One example is the much-publicized Chevy Volt, a plug-in hybrid due out in 2010 that ailing General Motors is staking its future on.  Ford is rolling out an electric four-door sedan in 2011 and Toyota plans to bring an electric car to showrooms in 2012, <b>ampicillin plate</b>.</p>
<p>“This is a chance for Florida to take the lead in the electric car movement,” Hasner said.</p>
<p>The electric car bill (HB879) would exempt sales of electric vehicles from the state’s 6-cent sales tax and provide a ,000 corporate tax credit to companies that have more than 10 electric or plug-in vehicles in their fleets.</p>
<p>In addition, consumers and businesses would be eligible for a ,000 rebate after converting a gasoline-powered vehicle to a plug-in.</p>
<p>As the House Energy and Utilities Committee gave its stamp of approval to the measure, Hasner is planning a showing of “Who Killed the Electric Car?” to legislators tonight at the Tallahassee IMAX theatre. During the fall campaign, Hasner drove a leased 2002 all-electric Toyota RAV-4 throughout his south Palm Beach-Broward county district — when gas was at its -a-gallon peak. “I drove by the gas station with a smile every single day, because I was using an electric car that didn’t use any gas,” he said.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Last Thursday, I flipped on the KTLA 5 news around 10:30pm, while grabbing a late dinner, and caught a <a href="http://www.fiskerautomotive.com/">Fisker Automotive</a> Karma ad...on TV!  I was caught completely and pleasantly by surprise seeing this great ad, as I don't think we've yet seen any other EV/PHEV specific ads from any of the smaller start-ups.

Justifying the cost of TV ads could be difficult, but has the positive effect of alerting the general population - most of which are not closely following the EV movement - to realize EVs/PHEVs are happening.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[We have TWO reports from guest bloggers who attended the <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a> in the Wild EVent Thursday night at Smooth's Sports Grille in Long Beach, CA.  Also embedded below is a recent Aptera 2e demo ride video (with founder Steve Fambro) from the <a href="http://www.ted.com/">2009 TED conference</a> (held in Long Beach, CA) recently uploaded by Aptera forum member Josh.

<strong><em>Guest Blogger - Jenean Smith</em></strong>
It was a rainy night but I decided to jump in my car and see the new <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a> in person tonight in Long Beach. None of the usual suspects were there, (no one I recognized at least), which is a good sign that more and more people are interested in EVs. It's a very sleek car indeed and now with front wheel drive -- like something from a Doctor Who episode transported into the future and modernized for 2009.

<strong><em>Guest Blogger - Jim Hannigan</em></strong>
<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/20090205aptera-smooths.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1632 alignright" title="20090205aptera-smooths" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/20090205aptera-smooths.jpg" alt="20090205aptera-smooths" width="298" height="224" /></a>I went by Smooth's on my way home from work. The Aptera was parked in the restaurant's sidewalk seating area that in the winter is roofed over and enclosed with vinyl fabric. 25 or 30 people were there along with another eight or so Aptera employees as identified by their logo shirts. There was no organized presentation while I was there, but the vehicle could be touched, photographed (I only had a cellphone) and at least for a while some were allowed to sit in it.

I was not aware that this was the first time an Aptera had been shown in public. Several of those in attendance excitedly recited their reservation numbers.

I was told the car was a driveable pre-production unit and that some features would be changed. This one had the rear quarter windows and outside mirrors but not the opening door windows shown on the website. Aptera used it for VIP rides at the TED conference earlier in the day (supposedly including Tesla founder Martin Eberhard).

Questions on battery specifics, observed range, powertrain details etc. were all left TBA.

The vehicle is striking in appearance and was very well finished inside and out. The interior, controls and switches all seemed production grade. Exceptions were the A/C air vents which were complex and delicate looking plastic pieces that I was cautioned not to touch.

The car looks small but is dimensionally large; nearly 15 feet long and over 7 feet wide across the outboard front wheels. The aero tail is relatively high but the front looks very low. I was initially surprised at the small size of the manufacturer's license plate on the car until I remembered the Aptera is classed as a motorcycle. I would have liked to have seen the car on the street around other cars for perspective.

The car was powered up to the extent that the flat-panel dash, Nav displays, parking and brake lights worked. I was able to get a few seconds in the driver's seat. The seats were comfortable, but not deeply contoured. Footwells seemed wide, and head and legroom were good. Front visibility was very good, but not so to the rear : the side mirrors were tiny and the rear window presented a small aperture a long way back.

It is far too early for performance claims but Aptera will likely beat Tesla for eventful ingress/egress. I've owned a Lotus for years and got in and out without a problem, but I watched just about everyone else hit their heads either on the "butterfly" doors or on the doorframe or both.

<p style="text-align: left;"><strong><em>E-mail notification of Aptera in the Wild:</em></strong></p>

Date: Thu, 5 Feb 2009 11:36:10 -0800
From: <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a>
Subject: Aptera in the Wild

Dear Aptera Family Member,

In our last newsletter we announced that Aptera would be giving 2e test drives to attendees of the TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) conference in Long Beach. We know most of you aren't attending this exclusive event, so when Smooth's, one of Long Beach's premier night spots and sports bars, offered us an opportunity to showcase the vehicle for the rest of our followers, we seized it.

Join us 6:00pm Thursday night, Feb. 5, at Smooth's to see the vehicle in person and meet other Aptera fans. We know that this is last-minute, but we want you to know about any opportunity to see the Aptera in a public setting.

When:  6pm to 9pm Thursday, February 5, 2009
Location:  Smooth's Sports Grille, 144 Pine Avenue, Long Beach, CA 90802

Thank you,

The Aptera Team - <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera Motors</a> 2009]]></content:encoded>

Regular readers of this blog will know all about Plug in America's triumphant Inaugural EV Parade West in Santa Monica, CA a few weeks back.   Now here's a chance to enjoy some video from the event.

A final count of 77 electric vehicles and over 250 people participated in the rally and subsequent parade. All types of electric vehicles drove quietly and emission free in formation for a few miles through city streets. Plug In America's dedicated volunteers worked their magic during the few weeks leading up to this latest EVent to organize a very successful and historic green parade. EV grins were everywhere and the enthusiasm for plug-ins couldn't have been greater. Plug In America's Inaugural EV Parade West rates as one of the best plug-in EVents to date.

Click play on the below 38 minute video of Plug In America's Inaugural EV Parade West to watch 26 minutes of rally speeches and experience the parade festivities.  Thanks to <a href="http://www.viddler.com">Viddler</a>'s great contextual timeline tagging feature, you can easily skip to any speaker or portion of the video without delay.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The talented <a href="http://www.myspace.com/kristenlreeves">Kristen Reeves</a> produced this wonderful video segment on <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com">AC Propulsion</a> and their world class electric vehicle drive technology.  For the past 3 years AC Propulsion has been converting gasoline Scion xBs to 100% electric drive with their phenomenal <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/tzero/index.php">AC150gen2 electric drive system</a>.  In her video, Kristen interviews AC Propulsion President &amp; CEO Tom Gage, and legendary actor/director and longtime EV enthusiast <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000158/">Tom Hanks</a>.  Mr. Hanks purchased the very first consumer <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/ebox/index.php">eBox</a> back in 2006 and uses it as his primary vehicle for all SoCal commuting.

Kristen writes:  "Imagine taking the car you drive now, and never having to stop at a gas station ever again. AC Propulsion, has been converting gas-fueled cars to electric for two decades.  This is a piece profiling AC Propulsion's car, the <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/ebox/index.php">eBox</a>, with a special interview with Tom Hanks who owns one of these cars.  Is this the way of the future?"

In the <a href="http://www.news10.net/">News 10</a> segment <a href="http://www.evworld.com/article.cfm?storyid=152">Ed Huestis, Vacaville's Transportation Manager</a>, comments:  "Once you've driven an electric vehicle, you never want to go back to gasoline...you just don't."  Former GM EV1 owner Jerry Hobrecht and Toyota RAV4-EV owner <a href="http://www.evnut.com/">Darell Dickey</a> are also interviewed expressing their immense enthusiasm for electric drive.

Now, every major automaker is scrambling to produce an electric vehicle.  Watch the <a href="http://www.news10.net/video/default.aspx?playerId=newsmaker&amp;maven_playlistId=63762cfa11fe40643571b0d28136516c002a19f3&amp;maven_referrer=mrss&amp;maven_referralPlaylistId=63762cfa11fe40643571b0d28136516c002a19f3&amp;maven_referralObject=941648966">News 10 report</a> after the jump to learn why "No city is more ready for the return of the electric car than <a href="http://www.ci.vacaville.ca.us/">Vacaville, CA</a>."

This summer Swiss visionary <span><a href="http://www.louispalmer.ch/">Louis Palmer</a></span> and his friendly team made several stops in Southern California on their global whirlwind tour with their spectacular <a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/">Solartaxi Electric Vehicle</a>.  One of the stops was at <a href="http://www.avinc.com/chargingsystems.asp">AeroVironment</a> in Simi Valley.

[caption id="attachment_621" align="alignleft" width="200" caption="Solartaxi parked at AeroVironment - Simi Valley, CA."]<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxiav_dsc_1841.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-621" title="solartaxiav_dsc_1841" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxiav_dsc_1841-200x200.jpg" alt="Solartaxi parked at AeroVironment - Simi Valley, CA." width="200" height="200" /></a>[/caption]

The Solartaxi is a realization of one of Louis' childhood dreams : to drive a zero emissions solar powered electric car around the world. He wants to show people that solutions already exist to resolve the Global Warming crisis.  <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/mission/">Click here to read Solartaxi's mission statement</a></span>.

[caption id="attachment_632" align="alignright" width="200" caption="Solartaxi&#39;s Louis Palmer with Paul Scott on a test drive."]<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-632" title="solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902-200x200.jpg" alt="Solartaxi's Louis Palmer with PIA's Paul Scott on a test drive." width="200" height="200" /></a>[/caption]

Towards this end, the Solartaxi is a promotional vehicle and not one that is suggested we all be driving. The <span><a href="http://www.q-cells.com/">Q-Cell solar panels</a></span> mounted on the trailer towed behind the Solartaxi provide 50% of the electricity required for the journey. They're mainly along for the ride to demonstrate that photovoltaic solar technology is real and available today. They also help to ensure the vehicle can keep traveling even in remote sections of the world should they fail to find a plug for recharging.  The other 50% of the electricity required for the journey is obtained by plugging into the electrical grid en route.  In Switzerland, the Solartaxi team has created a stationary solar array to feed green power into the (global) electrical grid. <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/technology/energy-concept/">Solartaxi just extracts that greenly produced electrical energy from the grid while touring the world</a></span>. We should all support the installation of rooftop mounted PV solar to power our homes and our near-future plug-in electric vehicles.

Solartaxi has two Swiss made 14kwhr <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/technology/zebra-battery/">Zebra batteries</a></span> which are a <span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten_salt_battery">molten-salt type battery</a></span> that has an operating temperature window of 270-350degC (518-662degF). The battery is insulated in a thermos-style package to minimize heat loss and has a life of about 1000 charging cycles. Zebra batteries have an energy density of around 90Whr/kg. Solartaxi has one of these Zebra batteries in the car portion and a second is located along the axle of the photovoltaic solar panel trailer.  That gives a cummulative energy storage capacity of 28kWhrs. The Solartaxi electric drive motor powering the single rear wheel is rated at a peak of 13kW.  The Q-Cells PV solar modules produce upwards of 600 watts. To recharge the batteries solely from the rear trailer would take about 4 days.

After admiring and discussing the Solartaxi for almost an hour, Solartaxi Tour Director Louis Palmer gave a fantastic 40 minute PowerPoint presentation on his mission and adventures.   As of this summer's SoCal visit, Louis had traveled two thirds of his journey around the world. The presentation was followed by an enthusiastic EV technology discussion along with real test drives of the Solartaxi - viewable in the video below.

<strong><em> <span style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">The Honorable Nate Holden, former California State Senator and L.A.

Activists kept a 24/7 watch over the vehicles and offered to buy the EV1s from GM for their residual value. <span><a href="http://www.alexandrapaul.com/">Alexandra Paul</a></span> and <span><a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1665635/">Colette Divine</a></span> were arrested while peacefully protesting and making a stand against an EV1 filled GM transport semi attempting to exit the facility.   Chris Paine's film <span>"<a href="http://www.whokilledthelectricar.com">Who Killed the Electric Car ?</a>"</span> documented the <span><a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/saveev1.htm">EV1 Vigil</a></span>. Former EV1 drivers Doug Korthof and Chris Reeves attended and spoke at Holden's press conference, having each arrived in their respective plug-in EVs (<span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">2002 Toyota RAV4-EV</a></span> and <span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevy_S-10_EV">1997 GM Chevy S10 EV</a></span>).

Alex Datig (Business &amp; Public Affairs Consultant, <span><a href="http://www.highroadla.com/">HighRoad Consulting Group LLC</a></span>) let us know that Mr. Holden had a fruitful day getting the EV1 word out.  After the press conference at the GM Training Center Mr Holden went to City Hall to conduct more interviews and to speak to elected officials. He sent the story to <span><a href="http://www.kfwb.com/">KFWB News 980</a></span> and to President-elect Barack Obama.  Mr Holden had the following words for the loyal supporters of the EV1 :

"I want to thank the EV1 family for their support and encouragement for me to continue the fight to hold General Motors and other auto manufacturers' feet to the fire. As you know, today I strongly urge Congress to withhold any bailout funds from the auto industry, unless and until the industry agrees to mass-produce fuel efficiency automobiles; electric cars.

Congress should not, under any circumstances, release the bailout money to automobile manufacturers without making these demands. Without these demands, the automobile manufacturers will just continue with "business as usual," manufacturing gas-guzzlers, which would increase our dependency on the middle-east oil producing countries. This dependency must end now!

We are the advocates of the electric car family and must continue our fight to save the electric car. We must not allow Congress to backslide, or "bait and switch." At the very least, members of the electric car family demand that the conditions that were incorporated in the funding legislation of the  Billion loan package of September 2008 be adhered to.

I respectfully urge each member of the electric car family to contact Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of the United States Senate, Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and each of your local members of Congress, to let them know that any deviation on their part from the conditions of the loan approved in September will not be tolerated.

Lets keep the pressure on!"

Hon. Nate Holden's next press conference on the EV1 will be held on Wednesday, November 19, 2008 at 10:00 AM at the <span><a href="http://www.laautoshow.com/">LA Auto Show</a></span> (<span><a href="http://www.lacclink.com/">LA Convention Center</a></span> - Pavilion adjacent to West Entrance).

The party was totally sold out: 250 guests and two superb electric vehicle rockstars - GM's newly released preproduction prototype <a href="http://www.chevrolet.com/electriccar/">Chevy Volt</a> and a silver <a href="http://www.teslamotors.com/">Tesla Roadster</a>. Due to parking limitations, valet parking was provided and guests were shuttled to the venue in several <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">Toyota RAV4-EVs</a> and a couple of very quick and spacious <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/acpropulsion/eBox/ebox_index.html">AC Propulsion eBoxes</a>. Chris Paine's film crew was in attendance filming the EVent.

But the speeches were the real highlight of the evening, delivered from a roof top overlooking the partygoers.  Host <a href="http://www.papercutfilms.com/about/#chris">Chris Paine</a> discussed his recent trip to Detroit for the pre-production GM Chevy Volt unveiling and describing how surreal it was to have the Chevy Volt parked in his backyard for this memorable party. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelsea_Sexton">Chelsea Sexton</a> followed with another eloquent summary of Plug In America's humble grassroots beginnings.   Plug In America's president <a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/about-us/our-team.html">Linda Nicholes</a> and board member <a href="http://www.alexandrapaul.com/">Alexandra Paul</a> gave a surprise thank you to two dedicated PIA volunteers. Renowned auto journalist <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/writers/dan-neil">Dan Neil</a> of the LA Times delivered a rave review of the GM Chevy Volt - and some of his trademark wit. And lastly, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Woolsey">James Woolsey</a> summarized the vital national security requirement for our nation to embrace, develop, and deploy plug-in electric vehicles.

The party also featured a silent auction for green and EV related items, including a <a href="http://www.duffyboats.com/">Duffy Electric Boat</a> rental, a <a href="http://www.zeromotorcycles.com/">2009 Zero X Electric Motorcycle</a>, and a beautiful blue <a href="http://www.vectrixusa.com/">2008 Vectrix Electric Maxi-Scooter</a> (from <a href="http://www.delamo-motorsports.com/">Delamo Motorsports</a> in Redondo Beach). <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/vectrix/ElectricMaxi-Scooter/2007.03.16VectrixDemo/VectrixDemo.html">Click here to see my Vectrix Electric Maxi-Scooter</a> coverage from March 2007.

Thanks go out to Plug In America Managing Director Jeanne Trombly, event organizer Nicole Landers, sustainability champion and solar chef extraordinaire <a href="http://action.pluginamerica.org/blastContent.jsp?email_blast_KEY=1119095&amp;t=#article4">Cathy Lam</a>, and all the other volunteers who made Plug In America's first fundraiser such a success!

One of our favorite guests from our shoot in Iceland, Bill Dube and his <a href="http://www.killacycle.com/">KillaCycle</a> Team, made headlines this past week in Colorado with a new EV world speed record.

On Thursday October 23rd, 2008, Team <a href="http://www.killacycle.com/">KillaCycle</a> set their latest drag racing world record at <a href="http://www.bandimere.com/">Bandimere Raceway</a>. Rider Scotty Pollacheck piloted the wickedly fast all electric <a href="http://www.a123systems.com/">A123Systems</a> NanoPhosphate battery powered motorcycle down the quarter mile in only 7.89 seconds, ending with a top speed of 168 MPH.

Scotty's run qualifies as a new official <a href="http://www.nedra.com/">NEDRA</a> (National Electric Drag Racing Association) record, vaulting the KillaCycle into the history books as the world's quickest quarter mile electric vehicle of any kind.

The KillaCycle's A123Systems battery pack is comprised of 1,210 type <a href="http://www.a123systems.com/#/products/p1">ANR26650M1</a> cells arranged to deliver 375 VDC. The motorcycle's Hi-Torque Electric motor was adjusted to draw 1850 amps for this particular run.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[We have TWO reports from guest bloggers who attended the <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a> in the Wild EVent Thursday night at Smooth's Sports Grille in Long Beach, CA.  Also embedded below is a recent Aptera 2e demo ride video (with founder Steve Fambro) from the <a href="http://www.ted.com/">2009 TED conference</a> (held in Long Beach, CA) recently uploaded by Aptera forum member Josh.

<strong><em>Guest Blogger - Jenean Smith</em></strong>
It was a rainy night but I decided to jump in my car and see the new <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a> in person tonight in Long Beach. None of the usual suspects were there, (no one I recognized at least), which is a good sign that more and more people are interested in EVs. It's a very sleek car indeed and now with front wheel drive -- like something from a Doctor Who episode transported into the future and modernized for 2009.

<strong><em>Guest Blogger - Jim Hannigan</em></strong>
<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/20090205aptera-smooths.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1632 alignright" title="20090205aptera-smooths" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/20090205aptera-smooths.jpg" alt="20090205aptera-smooths" width="298" height="224" /></a>I went by Smooth's on my way home from work. The Aptera was parked in the restaurant's sidewalk seating area that in the winter is roofed over and enclosed with vinyl fabric. 25 or 30 people were there along with another eight or so Aptera employees as identified by their logo shirts. There was no organized presentation while I was there, but the vehicle could be touched, photographed (I only had a cellphone) and at least for a while some were allowed to sit in it.

I was not aware that this was the first time an Aptera had been shown in public. Several of those in attendance excitedly recited their reservation numbers.

I was told the car was a driveable pre-production unit and that some features would be changed. This one had the rear quarter windows and outside mirrors but not the opening door windows shown on the website. Aptera used it for VIP rides at the TED conference earlier in the day (supposedly including Tesla founder Martin Eberhard).

Questions on battery specifics, observed range, powertrain details etc. were all left TBA.

The vehicle is striking in appearance and was very well finished inside and out. The interior, controls and switches all seemed production grade. Exceptions were the A/C air vents which were complex and delicate looking plastic pieces that I was cautioned not to touch.

The car looks small but is dimensionally large; nearly 15 feet long and over 7 feet wide across the outboard front wheels. The aero tail is relatively high but the front looks very low. I was initially surprised at the small size of the manufacturer's license plate on the car until I remembered the Aptera is classed as a motorcycle. I would have liked to have seen the car on the street around other cars for perspective.

The car was powered up to the extent that the flat-panel dash, Nav displays, parking and brake lights worked. I was able to get a few seconds in the driver's seat. The seats were comfortable, but not deeply contoured. Footwells seemed wide, and head and legroom were good. Front visibility was very good, but not so to the rear : the side mirrors were tiny and the rear window presented a small aperture a long way back.

It is far too early for performance claims but Aptera will likely beat Tesla for eventful ingress/egress. I've owned a Lotus for years and got in and out without a problem, but I watched just about everyone else hit their heads either on the "butterfly" doors or on the doorframe or both.

From: <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a>
Subject: Aptera in the Wild

Dear Aptera Family Member,

In our last newsletter we announced that Aptera would be giving 2e test drives to attendees of the TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) conference in Long Beach. We know most of you aren't attending this exclusive event, so when Smooth's, one of Long Beach's premier night spots and sports bars, offered us an opportunity to showcase the vehicle for the rest of our followers, we seized it.

Join us 6:00pm Thursday night, Feb. 5, at Smooth's to see the vehicle in person and meet other Aptera fans. We know that this is last-minute, but we want you to know about any opportunity to see the Aptera in a public setting.

When:  6pm to 9pm Thursday, February 5, 2009
Location:  Smooth's Sports Grille, 144 Pine Avenue, Long Beach, CA 90802

Thank you,

The Aptera Team - <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera Motors</a> 2009]]></content:encoded>

<p>Last week I was notified by <a href="http://www.cleanfuelconnection.com/">Clean Fuel Connection</a> (the company contracted by MINI to deploy the MINI E specific <a href="http://www.clippercreek.net/">Clipper Creek</a> charge stations) that they would be conducting an initial site inspection of my garage and electrical service to insure I could support a <a href="http://www.minispace.com/en_us/projects/electric-mini-e/">MINI E</a>, <b>ampicillin dilution</b>.  <b>Bla ampicillin</b>,   On Wednesday, March 11th, <b>ampicillin msds</b>, <b>Molecular weight of ampicillin</b>, 2009, at 1:30pm I met with a very friendly Paul Jette of Sunpower Electrical, <b>pharmacokinetics of ampicillin</b>, <b>Ampicillin spectrum</b>, the electrical contractor assigned to do the actual charge station install.  He inspected and took some photos of my 200Amp main electrical utility panel, <b>ampicillin contraindications</b>, <b>Binotal ampicillin</b>, and the garage space where the Clipper Creek MINI E charge station will be installed.  <b>Lb ampicillin</b>,  A couple of years ago I had upgraded my electrical distribution system when I self-installed a 4kW Photovoltaic system with the knowledge that plug-in EVs would soon be in my driving future. My electrical cleanup resulted in a very neat and sparsely populated main panel, <b>ampicillin uses</b>, <b>Ampicillin brand name</b>, as I offloaded all individual circuits to a couple of subpanels.  A majority of residences' main electrical utility panel is their only panel, <b>ampicillin satellite colonies</b>, <b>Ampicillin synthesis</b>, and many times it is completely stuffed with breakers and wiring, with no room for additional expansion, <b>ampicillin production</b>.  <b>Ampicillin tr 500 mg</b>,  This is a result many times of the initial builder trying to save a few $$ and installing a less expensive panel.  Generally, <b>ampicillin satellite colonies</b>, <b>Ampicillin sensitivity</b>, the cost of the electrical panel is "in the noise" (negligible), where the the majority of the cost of any electrical work is in the labor, <b>stability of ampicillin</b>.</p>

<p>Paul and I discussed the Clipper Creek charge station during his visit, <b>lb ampicillin</b>.  It is to be protected by a 60amp feed breaker installed at the main panel.  Paul confirmed the location I had already selected for mounting of the charge station to be ideal.  I learned I was Paul's 3rd MINI E initial site visit that day.  These were his very first visits in the MINI E deployment program.</p>
<p>While MINI is picking up the tab for any and all electrical work required to install the <a href="http://www.clippercreek.net/">Clipper Creek</a> <b>Lb ampicillin</b>, charge station, being an engineer  I have the desire to install a kilowatt-hour meter ahead of the charge station to log EV charging kW/hrs.  This self-imposed requirement means the charge station install by MINI at my house will be one of their simplest, as they just need to connect the charge station a few feet directly to the pre-installed and wired <a href="http://www.milbankmfg.com/">Milbank</a> kilowatt-hour meter box I'll already have in place.  I'm looking forward to a callback from Clean Fuel Connection once they are ready to send out the Clipper Creek charge station for installation.</p>

<p>The measure also would set aside 0, <b>sigma ampicillin</b>, <b>Kanamycin ampicillin</b>, 000 to provide incentives to build 100 charging stations throughout the state, since electric cars usually only last from 40 miles to 100 miles between charges, <b>lb broth ampicillin</b>.  <b>Ampicillin oral</b>, Today, electric vehicles and plug-in cars are a niche product, <b>uses for ampicillin</b>.  <b>Ampicillin brand name</b>, There are just 100 plug-ins on the road on Florida.  <b>Ampicillin plate</b>, But the electric car is coming – if a little slowly. The federal Energy Department has  billion to loan to companies to produce a new breed of electric cars, <b>ampicillin solubility</b>.  <b>Ampicillin history</b>, So far, none of the money has been doled out, <b>ampicillin administration</b>, <b>Binotal ampicillin</b>, but 75 companies, including three Detroit auto manufacturers, <b>ampicillin trade name</b>, <b>Ampicillin tr</b>, have submitted applications, according to the New York Times.</p>
<p>The federal stimulus bill also provides a ,500 tax credit for consumers who purchase plug-in vehicles.</p>
<p>One example is the much-publicized Chevy Volt, a plug-in hybrid due out in 2010 that ailing General Motors is staking its future on.  Ford is rolling out an electric four-door sedan in 2011 and Toyota plans to bring an electric car to showrooms in 2012, <b>ampicillin plate</b>.</p>
<p>“This is a chance for Florida to take the lead in the electric car movement,” Hasner said.</p>
<p>The electric car bill (HB879) would exempt sales of electric vehicles from the state’s 6-cent sales tax and provide a ,000 corporate tax credit to companies that have more than 10 electric or plug-in vehicles in their fleets.</p>
<p>In addition, consumers and businesses would be eligible for a ,000 rebate after converting a gasoline-powered vehicle to a plug-in.</p>
<p>As the House Energy and Utilities Committee gave its stamp of approval to the measure, Hasner is planning a showing of “Who Killed the Electric Car?” to legislators tonight at the Tallahassee IMAX theatre. During the fall campaign, Hasner drove a leased 2002 all-electric Toyota RAV-4 throughout his south Palm Beach-Broward county district — when gas was at its -a-gallon peak. “I drove by the gas station with a smile every single day, because I was using an electric car that didn’t use any gas,” he said.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Last Thursday, I flipped on the KTLA 5 news around 10:30pm, while grabbing a late dinner, and caught a <a href="http://www.fiskerautomotive.com/">Fisker Automotive</a> Karma ad...on TV!  I was caught completely and pleasantly by surprise seeing this great ad, as I don't think we've yet seen any other EV/PHEV specific ads from any of the smaller start-ups.

Justifying the cost of TV ads could be difficult, but has the positive effect of alerting the general population - most of which are not closely following the EV movement - to realize EVs/PHEVs are happening.

I was able to find the <a href="http://www.fiskerautomotive.com/">Fisker Automotive</a> Karma ad that ran during the KTLA pre-show
broadcast of the Academy Awards (2009.02.22), <strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJlhcBotQ7w&amp;fmt=18">archived on YouTube</a></strong> for those that have not yet seen it:

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[We have TWO reports from guest bloggers who attended the <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a> in the Wild EVent Thursday night at Smooth's Sports Grille in Long Beach, CA.  Also embedded below is a recent Aptera 2e demo ride video (with founder Steve Fambro) from the <a href="http://www.ted.com/">2009 TED conference</a> (held in Long Beach, CA) recently uploaded by Aptera forum member Josh.

<strong><em>Guest Blogger - Jenean Smith</em></strong>
It was a rainy night but I decided to jump in my car and see the new <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a> in person tonight in Long Beach. None of the usual suspects were there, (no one I recognized at least), which is a good sign that more and more people are interested in EVs. It's a very sleek car indeed and now with front wheel drive -- like something from a Doctor Who episode transported into the future and modernized for 2009.

<strong><em>Guest Blogger - Jim Hannigan</em></strong>
<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/20090205aptera-smooths.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1632 alignright" title="20090205aptera-smooths" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/20090205aptera-smooths.jpg" alt="20090205aptera-smooths" width="298" height="224" /></a>I went by Smooth's on my way home from work. The Aptera was parked in the restaurant's sidewalk seating area that in the winter is roofed over and enclosed with vinyl fabric. 25 or 30 people were there along with another eight or so Aptera employees as identified by their logo shirts. There was no organized presentation while I was there, but the vehicle could be touched, photographed (I only had a cellphone) and at least for a while some were allowed to sit in it.

I was not aware that this was the first time an Aptera had been shown in public. Several of those in attendance excitedly recited their reservation numbers.

I was told the car was a driveable pre-production unit and that some features would be changed. This one had the rear quarter windows and outside mirrors but not the opening door windows shown on the website. Aptera used it for VIP rides at the TED conference earlier in the day (supposedly including Tesla founder Martin Eberhard).

Questions on battery specifics, observed range, powertrain details etc. were all left TBA.

The vehicle is striking in appearance and was very well finished inside and out. The interior, controls and switches all seemed production grade. Exceptions were the A/C air vents which were complex and delicate looking plastic pieces that I was cautioned not to touch.

The car looks small but is dimensionally large; nearly 15 feet long and over 7 feet wide across the outboard front wheels. The aero tail is relatively high but the front looks very low. I was initially surprised at the small size of the manufacturer's license plate on the car until I remembered the Aptera is classed as a motorcycle. I would have liked to have seen the car on the street around other cars for perspective.

The car was powered up to the extent that the flat-panel dash, Nav displays, parking and brake lights worked. I was able to get a few seconds in the driver's seat. The seats were comfortable, but not deeply contoured. Footwells seemed wide, and head and legroom were good. Front visibility was very good, but not so to the rear : the side mirrors were tiny and the rear window presented a small aperture a long way back.

It is far too early for performance claims but Aptera will likely beat Tesla for eventful ingress/egress. I've owned a Lotus for years and got in and out without a problem, but I watched just about everyone else hit their heads either on the "butterfly" doors or on the doorframe or both.

From: <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a>
Subject: Aptera in the Wild

Dear Aptera Family Member,

In our last newsletter we announced that Aptera would be giving 2e test drives to attendees of the TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) conference in Long Beach. We know most of you aren't attending this exclusive event, so when Smooth's, one of Long Beach's premier night spots and sports bars, offered us an opportunity to showcase the vehicle for the rest of our followers, we seized it.

Join us 6:00pm Thursday night, Feb. 5, at Smooth's to see the vehicle in person and meet other Aptera fans. We know that this is last-minute, but we want you to know about any opportunity to see the Aptera in a public setting.

When:  6pm to 9pm Thursday, February 5, 2009
Location:  Smooth's Sports Grille, 144 Pine Avenue, Long Beach, CA 90802

Thank you,

The Aptera Team - <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera Motors</a> 2009]]></content:encoded>

Regular readers of this blog will know all about Plug in America's triumphant Inaugural EV Parade West in Santa Monica, CA a few weeks back.   Now here's a chance to enjoy some video from the event.

A final count of 77 electric vehicles and over 250 people participated in the rally and subsequent parade. All types of electric vehicles drove quietly and emission free in formation for a few miles through city streets. Plug In America's dedicated volunteers worked their magic during the few weeks leading up to this latest EVent to organize a very successful and historic green parade. EV grins were everywhere and the enthusiasm for plug-ins couldn't have been greater. Plug In America's Inaugural EV Parade West rates as one of the best plug-in EVents to date.

Click play on the below 38 minute video of Plug In America's Inaugural EV Parade West to watch 26 minutes of rally speeches and experience the parade festivities.  Thanks to <a href="http://www.viddler.com">Viddler</a>'s great contextual timeline tagging feature, you can easily skip to any speaker or portion of the video without delay.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The talented <a href="http://www.myspace.com/kristenlreeves">Kristen Reeves</a> produced this wonderful video segment on <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com">AC Propulsion</a> and their world class electric vehicle drive technology.  For the past 3 years AC Propulsion has been converting gasoline Scion xBs to 100% electric drive with their phenomenal <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/tzero/index.php">AC150gen2 electric drive system</a>.  In her video, Kristen interviews AC Propulsion President &amp; CEO Tom Gage, and legendary actor/director and longtime EV enthusiast <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000158/">Tom Hanks</a>.  Mr. Hanks purchased the very first consumer <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/ebox/index.php">eBox</a> back in 2006 and uses it as his primary vehicle for all SoCal commuting.

Kristen writes:  "Imagine taking the car you drive now, and never having to stop at a gas station ever again. AC Propulsion, has been converting gas-fueled cars to electric for two decades.  This is a piece profiling AC Propulsion's car, the <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/ebox/index.php">eBox</a>, with a special interview with Tom Hanks who owns one of these cars.  Is this the way of the future?"

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Sacramento's <a href="http://www.news10.net/">News 10</a> reports on the electric cars of <a href="http://www.ci.vacaville.ca.us/">Vacaville, CA</a>.  In 2003 Vacaville, also known as <a href="http://www.fleetmag.com/print/Fleet-Maintenance/Welcome-to-Voltageville/109">Voltageville</a>, was miles ahead of other cities with over 100 electric cars on the road in both <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">GM EV1</a>s and <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">Toyota RAV4-EV</a>s.  The California Air Resources Board's <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2008.03.26PIArallyCARB/2008.03.26PIArallyCARB.html">1990 Zero Emissions Vehicle mandate</a> would have required 10% of all vehicles sold in California to be zero emissions.  But the <a href="http://www.arb.ca.gov">CARB</a> ZEV mandate was rescinded in 2003 due to pressure from the automakers.  It resulted in the confiscation of the majority of EVs which had only been available under lease.

In the <a href="http://www.news10.net/">News 10</a> segment <a href="http://www.evworld.com/article.cfm?storyid=152">Ed Huestis, Vacaville's Transportation Manager</a>, comments:  "Once you've driven an electric vehicle, you never want to go back to gasoline...you just don't."  Former GM EV1 owner Jerry Hobrecht and Toyota RAV4-EV owner <a href="http://www.evnut.com/">Darell Dickey</a> are also interviewed expressing their immense enthusiasm for electric drive.

Now, every major automaker is scrambling to produce an electric vehicle.  Watch the <a href="http://www.news10.net/video/default.aspx?playerId=newsmaker&amp;maven_playlistId=63762cfa11fe40643571b0d28136516c002a19f3&amp;maven_referrer=mrss&amp;maven_referralPlaylistId=63762cfa11fe40643571b0d28136516c002a19f3&amp;maven_referralObject=941648966">News 10 report</a> after the jump to learn why "No city is more ready for the return of the electric car than <a href="http://www.ci.vacaville.ca.us/">Vacaville, CA</a>."

This summer Swiss visionary <span><a href="http://www.louispalmer.ch/">Louis Palmer</a></span> and his friendly team made several stops in Southern California on their global whirlwind tour with their spectacular <a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/">Solartaxi Electric Vehicle</a>.  One of the stops was at <a href="http://www.avinc.com/chargingsystems.asp">AeroVironment</a> in Simi Valley.

[caption id="attachment_621" align="alignleft" width="200" caption="Solartaxi parked at AeroVironment - Simi Valley, CA."]<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxiav_dsc_1841.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-621" title="solartaxiav_dsc_1841" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxiav_dsc_1841-200x200.jpg" alt="Solartaxi parked at AeroVironment - Simi Valley, CA." width="200" height="200" /></a>[/caption]

The Solartaxi is a realization of one of Louis' childhood dreams : to drive a zero emissions solar powered electric car around the world. He wants to show people that solutions already exist to resolve the Global Warming crisis.  <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/mission/">Click here to read Solartaxi's mission statement</a></span>.

[caption id="attachment_632" align="alignright" width="200" caption="Solartaxi&#39;s Louis Palmer with Paul Scott on a test drive."]<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-632" title="solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902-200x200.jpg" alt="Solartaxi's Louis Palmer with PIA's Paul Scott on a test drive." width="200" height="200" /></a>[/caption]

Towards this end, the Solartaxi is a promotional vehicle and not one that is suggested we all be driving. The <span><a href="http://www.q-cells.com/">Q-Cell solar panels</a></span> mounted on the trailer towed behind the Solartaxi provide 50% of the electricity required for the journey. They're mainly along for the ride to demonstrate that photovoltaic solar technology is real and available today. They also help to ensure the vehicle can keep traveling even in remote sections of the world should they fail to find a plug for recharging.  The other 50% of the electricity required for the journey is obtained by plugging into the electrical grid en route.  In Switzerland, the Solartaxi team has created a stationary solar array to feed green power into the (global) electrical grid. <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/technology/energy-concept/">Solartaxi just extracts that greenly produced electrical energy from the grid while touring the world</a></span>. We should all support the installation of rooftop mounted PV solar to power our homes and our near-future plug-in electric vehicles.

Solartaxi has two Swiss made 14kwhr <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/technology/zebra-battery/">Zebra batteries</a></span> which are a <span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten_salt_battery">molten-salt type battery</a></span> that has an operating temperature window of 270-350degC (518-662degF). The battery is insulated in a thermos-style package to minimize heat loss and has a life of about 1000 charging cycles. Zebra batteries have an energy density of around 90Whr/kg. Solartaxi has one of these Zebra batteries in the car portion and a second is located along the axle of the photovoltaic solar panel trailer.  That gives a cummulative energy storage capacity of 28kWhrs. The Solartaxi electric drive motor powering the single rear wheel is rated at a peak of 13kW.  The Q-Cells PV solar modules produce upwards of 600 watts. To recharge the batteries solely from the rear trailer would take about 4 days.

After admiring and discussing the Solartaxi for almost an hour, Solartaxi Tour Director Louis Palmer gave a fantastic 40 minute PowerPoint presentation on his mission and adventures.   As of this summer's SoCal visit, Louis had traveled two thirds of his journey around the world. The presentation was followed by an enthusiastic EV technology discussion along with real test drives of the Solartaxi - viewable in the video below.

<em><strong>Friday November 14th, 2008 - GM Training Center - Burbank, CA</strong></em>

<strong><em> <span style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">The Honorable Nate Holden, former California State Senator and L.A. City Council Member, held a press conference demanding General Motors apologize to the American people for destroying the automaker's <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">EV1</a></span> plug-in electric vehicle.  Mr. Holden demanded the EV1's immediate re-introduction before, or in exchange for, any Government bailout of GM. </span></em></strong>

“General Motors compounded their financial woes by destroying the <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">EV1</a></span> and continued to work with the oil companies to gouge the public. It's a dishonest act on the part of General Motors.” said Holden.

This press conference was held at the very same GM facility where the <span><a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/saveev1.htm">EV1 Vigil</a></span> took place during February and March 2005. Loyal <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">GM EV1</a></span> customers tried valiantly to save 78 remaining EV1s from being <span><a href="http://www.evnut.com/ev1_crushed.htm">crushed</a></span>. Activists kept a 24/7 watch over the vehicles and offered to buy the EV1s from GM for their residual value. <span><a href="http://www.alexandrapaul.com/">Alexandra Paul</a></span> and <span><a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1665635/">Colette Divine</a></span> were arrested while peacefully protesting and making a stand against an EV1 filled GM transport semi attempting to exit the facility.   Chris Paine's film <span>"<a href="http://www.whokilledthelectricar.com">Who Killed the Electric Car ?</a>"</span> documented the <span><a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/saveev1.htm">EV1 Vigil</a></span>. Former EV1 drivers Doug Korthof and Chris Reeves attended and spoke at Holden's press conference, having each arrived in their respective plug-in EVs (<span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">2002 Toyota RAV4-EV</a></span> and <span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevy_S-10_EV">1997 GM Chevy S10 EV</a></span>).

Alex Datig (Business &amp; Public Affairs Consultant, <span><a href="http://www.highroadla.com/">HighRoad Consulting Group LLC</a></span>) let us know that Mr. Holden had a fruitful day getting the EV1 word out.  After the press conference at the GM Training Center Mr Holden went to City Hall to conduct more interviews and to speak to elected officials. He sent the story to <span><a href="http://www.kfwb.com/">KFWB News 980</a></span> and to President-elect Barack Obama.  Mr Holden had the following words for the loyal supporters of the EV1 :

"I want to thank the EV1 family for their support and encouragement for me to continue the fight to hold General Motors and other auto manufacturers' feet to the fire. As you know, today I strongly urge Congress to withhold any bailout funds from the auto industry, unless and until the industry agrees to mass-produce fuel efficiency automobiles; electric cars.

Congress should not, under any circumstances, release the bailout money to automobile manufacturers without making these demands. Without these demands, the automobile manufacturers will just continue with "business as usual," manufacturing gas-guzzlers, which would increase our dependency on the middle-east oil producing countries. This dependency must end now!

We are the advocates of the electric car family and must continue our fight to save the electric car. We must not allow Congress to backslide, or "bait and switch." At the very least, members of the electric car family demand that the conditions that were incorporated in the funding legislation of the  Billion loan package of September 2008 be adhered to.

I respectfully urge each member of the electric car family to contact Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of the United States Senate, Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and each of your local members of Congress, to let them know that any deviation on their part from the conditions of the loan approved in September will not be tolerated.

Lets keep the pressure on!"

Nate Holden
California State Senate, ret.
Los Angeles City Council, ret.

Hon. Nate Holden's next press conference on the EV1 will be held on Wednesday, November 19, 2008 at 10:00 AM at the <span><a href="http://www.laautoshow.com/">LA Auto Show</a></span> (<span><a href="http://www.lacclink.com/">LA Convention Center</a></span> - Pavilion adjacent to West Entrance).

The party was totally sold out: 250 guests and two superb electric vehicle rockstars - GM's newly released preproduction prototype <a href="http://www.chevrolet.com/electriccar/">Chevy Volt</a> and a silver <a href="http://www.teslamotors.com/">Tesla Roadster</a>. Due to parking limitations, valet parking was provided and guests were shuttled to the venue in several <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">Toyota RAV4-EVs</a> and a couple of very quick and spacious <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/acpropulsion/eBox/ebox_index.html">AC Propulsion eBoxes</a>. Chris Paine's film crew was in attendance filming the EVent.

But the speeches were the real highlight of the evening, delivered from a roof top overlooking the partygoers.  Host <a href="http://www.papercutfilms.com/about/#chris">Chris Paine</a> discussed his recent trip to Detroit for the pre-production GM Chevy Volt unveiling and describing how surreal it was to have the Chevy Volt parked in his backyard for this memorable party. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelsea_Sexton">Chelsea Sexton</a> followed with another eloquent summary of Plug In America's humble grassroots beginnings.   Plug In America's president <a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/about-us/our-team.html">Linda Nicholes</a> and board member <a href="http://www.alexandrapaul.com/">Alexandra Paul</a> gave a surprise thank you to two dedicated PIA volunteers. Renowned auto journalist <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/writers/dan-neil">Dan Neil</a> of the LA Times delivered a rave review of the GM Chevy Volt - and some of his trademark wit. And lastly, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Woolsey">James Woolsey</a> summarized the vital national security requirement for our nation to embrace, develop, and deploy plug-in electric vehicles.

The party also featured a silent auction for green and EV related items, including a <a href="http://www.duffyboats.com/">Duffy Electric Boat</a> rental, a <a href="http://www.zeromotorcycles.com/">2009 Zero X Electric Motorcycle</a>, and a beautiful blue <a href="http://www.vectrixusa.com/">2008 Vectrix Electric Maxi-Scooter</a> (from <a href="http://www.delamo-motorsports.com/">Delamo Motorsports</a> in Redondo Beach). <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/vectrix/ElectricMaxi-Scooter/2007.03.16VectrixDemo/VectrixDemo.html">Click here to see my Vectrix Electric Maxi-Scooter</a> coverage from March 2007.

Thanks go out to Plug In America Managing Director Jeanne Trombly, event organizer Nicole Landers, sustainability champion and solar chef extraordinaire <a href="http://action.pluginamerica.org/blastContent.jsp?email_blast_KEY=1119095&amp;t=#article4">Cathy Lam</a>, and all the other volunteers who made Plug In America's first fundraiser such a success!

One of our favorite guests from our shoot in Iceland, Bill Dube and his <a href="http://www.killacycle.com/">KillaCycle</a> Team, made headlines this past week in Colorado with a new EV world speed record.

On Thursday October 23rd, 2008, Team <a href="http://www.killacycle.com/">KillaCycle</a> set their latest drag racing world record at <a href="http://www.bandimere.com/">Bandimere Raceway</a>. Rider Scotty Pollacheck piloted the wickedly fast all electric <a href="http://www.a123systems.com/">A123Systems</a> NanoPhosphate battery powered motorcycle down the quarter mile in only 7.89 seconds, ending with a top speed of 168 MPH.

Scotty's run qualifies as a new official <a href="http://www.nedra.com/">NEDRA</a> (National Electric Drag Racing Association) record, vaulting the KillaCycle into the history books as the world's quickest quarter mile electric vehicle of any kind.

The KillaCycle's A123Systems battery pack is comprised of 1,210 type <a href="http://www.a123systems.com/#/products/p1">ANR26650M1</a> cells arranged to deliver 375 VDC. The motorcycle's Hi-Torque Electric motor was adjusted to draw 1850 amps for this particular run.

Regular readers of this blog will know all about Plug in America's triumphant Inaugural EV Parade West in Santa Monica, CA a few weeks back.   Now here's a chance to enjoy some video from the event.

A final count of 77 electric vehicles and over 250 people participated in the rally and subsequent parade. All types of electric vehicles drove quietly and emission free in formation for a few miles through city streets. Plug In America's dedicated volunteers worked their magic during the few weeks leading up to this latest EVent to organize a very successful and historic green parade. EV grins were everywhere and the enthusiasm for plug-ins couldn't have been greater. Plug In America's Inaugural EV Parade West rates as one of the best plug-in EVents to date.

Click play on the below 38 minute video of Plug In America's Inaugural EV Parade West to watch 26 minutes of rally speeches and experience the parade festivities.  Thanks to <a href="http://www.viddler.com">Viddler</a>'s great contextual timeline tagging feature, you can easily skip to any speaker or portion of the video without delay.

<em><strong>Here is the speaker line up from the event:</strong></em>

<p>If you've been following the BMW <a href="http://www.minispace.com/en_us/projects/electric-mini-e/">MINI E</a> program unveiled officially on November 19th, 2008 at the Los Angeles Auto Show you'll know the process for being selected as a potential MINI E driver is a multistep one.  The window to apply for a lease of a MINI E was from November 19th to December 24th, <b>mic ampicillin</b>, <b>Ampicillin india</b>, 2008, via an hour long online questionnaire, <b>ampicillin trade name</b>.  <b>Ampicillin reconstitution</b>, In January 2009, I was excited to learn I was selected to be one of the potential 250 lessees of the MINI E being deployed in Southern California this year, <b>ampicillin antibiotic resistance</b>.  <b>Synthesis of ampicillin</b>,  Achieving selection status was just one of the first steps to MINI E driving sweetness.  In the past couple of months I've been passing other qualifications, <b>ampicillin degradation</b>.  One of these items on the MINI E deployment checklist regards the residence where one is to park and charge the MINI E, <b>lb ampicillin</b>.  <b>Ampicillin administration</b>,  MINI wants to insure their MINI Es will be parked in an enclosed garage and that the residence's electrical system is up to the task of charging the car.</p>

<p>Last week I was notified by <a href="http://www.cleanfuelconnection.com/">Clean Fuel Connection</a> (the company contracted by MINI to deploy the MINI E specific <a href="http://www.clippercreek.net/">Clipper Creek</a> charge stations) that they would be conducting an initial site inspection of my garage and electrical service to insure I could support a <a href="http://www.minispace.com/en_us/projects/electric-mini-e/">MINI E</a>, <b>ampicillin dilution</b>.  <b>Bla ampicillin</b>,   On Wednesday, March 11th, <b>ampicillin msds</b>, <b>Molecular weight of ampicillin</b>, 2009, at 1:30pm I met with a very friendly Paul Jette of Sunpower Electrical, <b>pharmacokinetics of ampicillin</b>, <b>Ampicillin spectrum</b>, the electrical contractor assigned to do the actual charge station install.  He inspected and took some photos of my 200Amp main electrical utility panel, <b>ampicillin contraindications</b>, <b>Binotal ampicillin</b>, and the garage space where the Clipper Creek MINI E charge station will be installed.  <b>Lb ampicillin</b>,  A couple of years ago I had upgraded my electrical distribution system when I self-installed a 4kW Photovoltaic system with the knowledge that plug-in EVs would soon be in my driving future. My electrical cleanup resulted in a very neat and sparsely populated main panel, <b>ampicillin uses</b>, <b>Ampicillin brand name</b>, as I offloaded all individual circuits to a couple of subpanels.  A majority of residences' main electrical utility panel is their only panel, <b>ampicillin satellite colonies</b>, <b>Ampicillin synthesis</b>, and many times it is completely stuffed with breakers and wiring, with no room for additional expansion, <b>ampicillin production</b>.  <b>Ampicillin tr 500 mg</b>,  This is a result many times of the initial builder trying to save a few $$ and installing a less expensive panel.  Generally, <b>ampicillin satellite colonies</b>, <b>Ampicillin sensitivity</b>, the cost of the electrical panel is "in the noise" (negligible), where the the majority of the cost of any electrical work is in the labor, <b>stability of ampicillin</b>.</p>

<p>Paul and I discussed the Clipper Creek charge station during his visit, <b>lb ampicillin</b>.  It is to be protected by a 60amp feed breaker installed at the main panel.  Paul confirmed the location I had already selected for mounting of the charge station to be ideal.  I learned I was Paul's 3rd MINI E initial site visit that day.  These were his very first visits in the MINI E deployment program.</p>
<p>While MINI is picking up the tab for any and all electrical work required to install the <a href="http://www.clippercreek.net/">Clipper Creek</a> <b>Lb ampicillin</b>, charge station, being an engineer  I have the desire to install a kilowatt-hour meter ahead of the charge station to log EV charging kW/hrs.  This self-imposed requirement means the charge station install by MINI at my house will be one of their simplest, as they just need to connect the charge station a few feet directly to the pre-installed and wired <a href="http://www.milbankmfg.com/">Milbank</a> kilowatt-hour meter box I'll already have in place.  I'm looking forward to a callback from Clean Fuel Connection once they are ready to send out the Clipper Creek charge station for installation.</p>

<p>Hasner’s electric car tax break gets boost</p>
<p>Posted by Josh Hafenbrack at 9:50 AM 2009.03.10</p>
<p>The Legislature is taking a step toward giving a Sunshine State boost to the next generation of automobiles: electric-powered cars, <b>ampicillin plate</b>.</p>
<p>An effort led by House Majority Leader Adam Hasner, <b>ampicillin msds</b>, <b>Ampicillin antibiotic resistance</b>, R-Boca Raton, to give a sales tax exemption to consumers who buy battery-powered, <b>ampicillin anhydrous</b>, <b>Ampicillin reconstitution</b>, electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids picked up a unanimous endorsement today.</p>
<p>The measure also would set aside 0, <b>sigma ampicillin</b>, <b>Kanamycin ampicillin</b>, 000 to provide incentives to build 100 charging stations throughout the state, since electric cars usually only last from 40 miles to 100 miles between charges, <b>lb broth ampicillin</b>.  <b>Ampicillin oral</b>, Today, electric vehicles and plug-in cars are a niche product, <b>uses for ampicillin</b>.  <b>Ampicillin brand name</b>, There are just 100 plug-ins on the road on Florida.  <b>Ampicillin plate</b>, But the electric car is coming – if a little slowly. The federal Energy Department has  billion to loan to companies to produce a new breed of electric cars, <b>ampicillin solubility</b>.  <b>Ampicillin history</b>, So far, none of the money has been doled out, <b>ampicillin administration</b>, <b>Binotal ampicillin</b>, but 75 companies, including three Detroit auto manufacturers, <b>ampicillin trade name</b>, <b>Ampicillin tr</b>, have submitted applications, according to the New York Times.</p>
<p>The federal stimulus bill also provides a ,500 tax credit for consumers who purchase plug-in vehicles.</p>
<p>One example is the much-publicized Chevy Volt, a plug-in hybrid due out in 2010 that ailing General Motors is staking its future on.  Ford is rolling out an electric four-door sedan in 2011 and Toyota plans to bring an electric car to showrooms in 2012, <b>ampicillin plate</b>.</p>
<p>“This is a chance for Florida to take the lead in the electric car movement,” Hasner said.</p>
<p>The electric car bill (HB879) would exempt sales of electric vehicles from the state’s 6-cent sales tax and provide a ,000 corporate tax credit to companies that have more than 10 electric or plug-in vehicles in their fleets.</p>
<p>In addition, consumers and businesses would be eligible for a ,000 rebate after converting a gasoline-powered vehicle to a plug-in.</p>
<p>As the House Energy and Utilities Committee gave its stamp of approval to the measure, Hasner is planning a showing of “Who Killed the Electric Car?” to legislators tonight at the Tallahassee IMAX theatre. During the fall campaign, Hasner drove a leased 2002 all-electric Toyota RAV-4 throughout his south Palm Beach-Broward county district — when gas was at its -a-gallon peak. “I drove by the gas station with a smile every single day, because I was using an electric car that didn’t use any gas,” he said.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Last Thursday, I flipped on the KTLA 5 news around 10:30pm, while grabbing a late dinner, and caught a <a href="http://www.fiskerautomotive.com/">Fisker Automotive</a> Karma ad...on TV!  I was caught completely and pleasantly by surprise seeing this great ad, as I don't think we've yet seen any other EV/PHEV specific ads from any of the smaller start-ups.

Justifying the cost of TV ads could be difficult, but has the positive effect of alerting the general population - most of which are not closely following the EV movement - to realize EVs/PHEVs are happening.

I was able to find the <a href="http://www.fiskerautomotive.com/">Fisker Automotive</a> Karma ad that ran during the KTLA pre-show
broadcast of the Academy Awards (2009.02.22), <strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJlhcBotQ7w&amp;fmt=18">archived on YouTube</a></strong> for those that have not yet seen it:

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[We have TWO reports from guest bloggers who attended the <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a> in the Wild EVent Thursday night at Smooth's Sports Grille in Long Beach, CA.  Also embedded below is a recent Aptera 2e demo ride video (with founder Steve Fambro) from the <a href="http://www.ted.com/">2009 TED conference</a> (held in Long Beach, CA) recently uploaded by Aptera forum member Josh.

<strong><em>Guest Blogger - Jenean Smith</em></strong>
It was a rainy night but I decided to jump in my car and see the new <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a> in person tonight in Long Beach. None of the usual suspects were there, (no one I recognized at least), which is a good sign that more and more people are interested in EVs. It's a very sleek car indeed and now with front wheel drive -- like something from a Doctor Who episode transported into the future and modernized for 2009.

<strong><em>Guest Blogger - Jim Hannigan</em></strong>
<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/20090205aptera-smooths.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1632 alignright" title="20090205aptera-smooths" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/20090205aptera-smooths.jpg" alt="20090205aptera-smooths" width="298" height="224" /></a>I went by Smooth's on my way home from work. The Aptera was parked in the restaurant's sidewalk seating area that in the winter is roofed over and enclosed with vinyl fabric. 25 or 30 people were there along with another eight or so Aptera employees as identified by their logo shirts. There was no organized presentation while I was there, but the vehicle could be touched, photographed (I only had a cellphone) and at least for a while some were allowed to sit in it.

I was not aware that this was the first time an Aptera had been shown in public. Several of those in attendance excitedly recited their reservation numbers.

I was told the car was a driveable pre-production unit and that some features would be changed. This one had the rear quarter windows and outside mirrors but not the opening door windows shown on the website. Aptera used it for VIP rides at the TED conference earlier in the day (supposedly including Tesla founder Martin Eberhard).

Questions on battery specifics, observed range, powertrain details etc. were all left TBA.

The vehicle is striking in appearance and was very well finished inside and out. The interior, controls and switches all seemed production grade. Exceptions were the A/C air vents which were complex and delicate looking plastic pieces that I was cautioned not to touch.

The car looks small but is dimensionally large; nearly 15 feet long and over 7 feet wide across the outboard front wheels. The aero tail is relatively high but the front looks very low. I was initially surprised at the small size of the manufacturer's license plate on the car until I remembered the Aptera is classed as a motorcycle. I would have liked to have seen the car on the street around other cars for perspective.

The car was powered up to the extent that the flat-panel dash, Nav displays, parking and brake lights worked. I was able to get a few seconds in the driver's seat. The seats were comfortable, but not deeply contoured. Footwells seemed wide, and head and legroom were good. Front visibility was very good, but not so to the rear : the side mirrors were tiny and the rear window presented a small aperture a long way back.

It is far too early for performance claims but Aptera will likely beat Tesla for eventful ingress/egress. I've owned a Lotus for years and got in and out without a problem, but I watched just about everyone else hit their heads either on the "butterfly" doors or on the doorframe or both.

Dear Aptera Family Member,

In our last newsletter we announced that Aptera would be giving 2e test drives to attendees of the TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) conference in Long Beach. We know most of you aren't attending this exclusive event, so when Smooth's, one of Long Beach's premier night spots and sports bars, offered us an opportunity to showcase the vehicle for the rest of our followers, we seized it.

Join us 6:00pm Thursday night, Feb. 5, at Smooth's to see the vehicle in person and meet other Aptera fans. We know that this is last-minute, but we want you to know about any opportunity to see the Aptera in a public setting.

When:  6pm to 9pm Thursday, February 5, 2009
Location:  Smooth's Sports Grille, 144 Pine Avenue, Long Beach, CA 90802

Thank you,

The Aptera Team - <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera Motors</a> 2009]]></content:encoded>

Regular readers of this blog will know all about Plug in America's triumphant Inaugural EV Parade West in Santa Monica, CA a few weeks back.   Now here's a chance to enjoy some video from the event.

A final count of 77 electric vehicles and over 250 people participated in the rally and subsequent parade. All types of electric vehicles drove quietly and emission free in formation for a few miles through city streets. Plug In America's dedicated volunteers worked their magic during the few weeks leading up to this latest EVent to organize a very successful and historic green parade. EV grins were everywhere and the enthusiasm for plug-ins couldn't have been greater. Plug In America's Inaugural EV Parade West rates as one of the best plug-in EVents to date.

Click play on the below 38 minute video of Plug In America's Inaugural EV Parade West to watch 26 minutes of rally speeches and experience the parade festivities.  Thanks to <a href="http://www.viddler.com">Viddler</a>'s great contextual timeline tagging feature, you can easily skip to any speaker or portion of the video without delay.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The talented <a href="http://www.myspace.com/kristenlreeves">Kristen Reeves</a> produced this wonderful video segment on <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com">AC Propulsion</a> and their world class electric vehicle drive technology.  For the past 3 years AC Propulsion has been converting gasoline Scion xBs to 100% electric drive with their phenomenal <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/tzero/index.php">AC150gen2 electric drive system</a>.  In her video, Kristen interviews AC Propulsion President &amp; CEO Tom Gage, and legendary actor/director and longtime EV enthusiast <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000158/">Tom Hanks</a>.  Mr. Hanks purchased the very first consumer <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/ebox/index.php">eBox</a> back in 2006 and uses it as his primary vehicle for all SoCal commuting.

Kristen writes:  "Imagine taking the car you drive now, and never having to stop at a gas station ever again. AC Propulsion, has been converting gas-fueled cars to electric for two decades.  This is a piece profiling AC Propulsion's car, the <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/ebox/index.php">eBox</a>, with a special interview with Tom Hanks who owns one of these cars.  Is this the way of the future?"

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Sacramento's <a href="http://www.news10.net/">News 10</a> reports on the electric cars of <a href="http://www.ci.vacaville.ca.us/">Vacaville, CA</a>.  In 2003 Vacaville, also known as <a href="http://www.fleetmag.com/print/Fleet-Maintenance/Welcome-to-Voltageville/109">Voltageville</a>, was miles ahead of other cities with over 100 electric cars on the road in both <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">GM EV1</a>s and <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">Toyota RAV4-EV</a>s.  The California Air Resources Board's <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2008.03.26PIArallyCARB/2008.03.26PIArallyCARB.html">1990 Zero Emissions Vehicle mandate</a> would have required 10% of all vehicles sold in California to be zero emissions.  But the <a href="http://www.arb.ca.gov">CARB</a> ZEV mandate was rescinded in 2003 due to pressure from the automakers.  It resulted in the confiscation of the majority of EVs which had only been available under lease.

In the <a href="http://www.news10.net/">News 10</a> segment <a href="http://www.evworld.com/article.cfm?storyid=152">Ed Huestis, Vacaville's Transportation Manager</a>, comments:  "Once you've driven an electric vehicle, you never want to go back to gasoline...you just don't."  Former GM EV1 owner Jerry Hobrecht and Toyota RAV4-EV owner <a href="http://www.evnut.com/">Darell Dickey</a> are also interviewed expressing their immense enthusiasm for electric drive.

Now, every major automaker is scrambling to produce an electric vehicle.  Watch the <a href="http://www.news10.net/video/default.aspx?playerId=newsmaker&amp;maven_playlistId=63762cfa11fe40643571b0d28136516c002a19f3&amp;maven_referrer=mrss&amp;maven_referralPlaylistId=63762cfa11fe40643571b0d28136516c002a19f3&amp;maven_referralObject=941648966">News 10 report</a> after the jump to learn why "No city is more ready for the return of the electric car than <a href="http://www.ci.vacaville.ca.us/">Vacaville, CA</a>."

This summer Swiss visionary <span><a href="http://www.louispalmer.ch/">Louis Palmer</a></span> and his friendly team made several stops in Southern California on their global whirlwind tour with their spectacular <a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/">Solartaxi Electric Vehicle</a>.  One of the stops was at <a href="http://www.avinc.com/chargingsystems.asp">AeroVironment</a> in Simi Valley.

[caption id="attachment_621" align="alignleft" width="200" caption="Solartaxi parked at AeroVironment - Simi Valley, CA."]<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxiav_dsc_1841.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-621" title="solartaxiav_dsc_1841" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxiav_dsc_1841-200x200.jpg" alt="Solartaxi parked at AeroVironment - Simi Valley, CA." width="200" height="200" /></a>[/caption]

The Solartaxi is a realization of one of Louis' childhood dreams : to drive a zero emissions solar powered electric car around the world. He wants to show people that solutions already exist to resolve the Global Warming crisis.  <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/mission/">Click here to read Solartaxi's mission statement</a></span>.

[caption id="attachment_632" align="alignright" width="200" caption="Solartaxi&#39;s Louis Palmer with Paul Scott on a test drive."]<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-632" title="solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902-200x200.jpg" alt="Solartaxi's Louis Palmer with PIA's Paul Scott on a test drive." width="200" height="200" /></a>[/caption]

Towards this end, the Solartaxi is a promotional vehicle and not one that is suggested we all be driving. The <span><a href="http://www.q-cells.com/">Q-Cell solar panels</a></span> mounted on the trailer towed behind the Solartaxi provide 50% of the electricity required for the journey. They're mainly along for the ride to demonstrate that photovoltaic solar technology is real and available today. They also help to ensure the vehicle can keep traveling even in remote sections of the world should they fail to find a plug for recharging.  The other 50% of the electricity required for the journey is obtained by plugging into the electrical grid en route.  In Switzerland, the Solartaxi team has created a stationary solar array to feed green power into the (global) electrical grid. <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/technology/energy-concept/">Solartaxi just extracts that greenly produced electrical energy from the grid while touring the world</a></span>. We should all support the installation of rooftop mounted PV solar to power our homes and our near-future plug-in electric vehicles.

Solartaxi has two Swiss made 14kwhr <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/technology/zebra-battery/">Zebra batteries</a></span> which are a <span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten_salt_battery">molten-salt type battery</a></span> that has an operating temperature window of 270-350degC (518-662degF). The battery is insulated in a thermos-style package to minimize heat loss and has a life of about 1000 charging cycles. Zebra batteries have an energy density of around 90Whr/kg. Solartaxi has one of these Zebra batteries in the car portion and a second is located along the axle of the photovoltaic solar panel trailer.  That gives a cummulative energy storage capacity of 28kWhrs. The Solartaxi electric drive motor powering the single rear wheel is rated at a peak of 13kW.  The Q-Cells PV solar modules produce upwards of 600 watts. To recharge the batteries solely from the rear trailer would take about 4 days.

After admiring and discussing the Solartaxi for almost an hour, Solartaxi Tour Director Louis Palmer gave a fantastic 40 minute PowerPoint presentation on his mission and adventures.   As of this summer's SoCal visit, Louis had traveled two thirds of his journey around the world. The presentation was followed by an enthusiastic EV technology discussion along with real test drives of the Solartaxi - viewable in the video below.

<em><strong>Friday November 14th, 2008 - GM Training Center - Burbank, CA</strong></em>

<strong><em> <span style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">The Honorable Nate Holden, former California State Senator and L.A. City Council Member, held a press conference demanding General Motors apologize to the American people for destroying the automaker's <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">EV1</a></span> plug-in electric vehicle.  Mr. Holden demanded the EV1's immediate re-introduction before, or in exchange for, any Government bailout of GM. </span></em></strong>

“General Motors compounded their financial woes by destroying the <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">EV1</a></span> and continued to work with the oil companies to gouge the public. It's a dishonest act on the part of General Motors.” said Holden.

This press conference was held at the very same GM facility where the <span><a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/saveev1.htm">EV1 Vigil</a></span> took place during February and March 2005. Loyal <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">GM EV1</a></span> customers tried valiantly to save 78 remaining EV1s from being <span><a href="http://www.evnut.com/ev1_crushed.htm">crushed</a></span>. Activists kept a 24/7 watch over the vehicles and offered to buy the EV1s from GM for their residual value. <span><a href="http://www.alexandrapaul.com/">Alexandra Paul</a></span> and <span><a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1665635/">Colette Divine</a></span> were arrested while peacefully protesting and making a stand against an EV1 filled GM transport semi attempting to exit the facility.   Chris Paine's film <span>"<a href="http://www.whokilledthelectricar.com">Who Killed the Electric Car ?</a>"</span> documented the <span><a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/saveev1.htm">EV1 Vigil</a></span>. Former EV1 drivers Doug Korthof and Chris Reeves attended and spoke at Holden's press conference, having each arrived in their respective plug-in EVs (<span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">2002 Toyota RAV4-EV</a></span> and <span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevy_S-10_EV">1997 GM Chevy S10 EV</a></span>).

Alex Datig (Business &amp; Public Affairs Consultant, <span><a href="http://www.highroadla.com/">HighRoad Consulting Group LLC</a></span>) let us know that Mr. Holden had a fruitful day getting the EV1 word out.  After the press conference at the GM Training Center Mr Holden went to City Hall to conduct more interviews and to speak to elected officials. He sent the story to <span><a href="http://www.kfwb.com/">KFWB News 980</a></span> and to President-elect Barack Obama.  Mr Holden had the following words for the loyal supporters of the EV1 :

"I want to thank the EV1 family for their support and encouragement for me to continue the fight to hold General Motors and other auto manufacturers' feet to the fire. As you know, today I strongly urge Congress to withhold any bailout funds from the auto industry, unless and until the industry agrees to mass-produce fuel efficiency automobiles; electric cars.

Congress should not, under any circumstances, release the bailout money to automobile manufacturers without making these demands. Without these demands, the automobile manufacturers will just continue with "business as usual," manufacturing gas-guzzlers, which would increase our dependency on the middle-east oil producing countries. This dependency must end now!

We are the advocates of the electric car family and must continue our fight to save the electric car. We must not allow Congress to backslide, or "bait and switch." At the very least, members of the electric car family demand that the conditions that were incorporated in the funding legislation of the  Billion loan package of September 2008 be adhered to.

I respectfully urge each member of the electric car family to contact Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of the United States Senate, Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and each of your local members of Congress, to let them know that any deviation on their part from the conditions of the loan approved in September will not be tolerated.

Lets keep the pressure on!"

Nate Holden
California State Senate, ret.
Los Angeles City Council, ret.

Hon. Nate Holden's next press conference on the EV1 will be held on Wednesday, November 19, 2008 at 10:00 AM at the <span><a href="http://www.laautoshow.com/">LA Auto Show</a></span> (<span><a href="http://www.lacclink.com/">LA Convention Center</a></span> - Pavilion adjacent to West Entrance).

The party was totally sold out: 250 guests and two superb electric vehicle rockstars - GM's newly released preproduction prototype <a href="http://www.chevrolet.com/electriccar/">Chevy Volt</a> and a silver <a href="http://www.teslamotors.com/">Tesla Roadster</a>. Due to parking limitations, valet parking was provided and guests were shuttled to the venue in several <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">Toyota RAV4-EVs</a> and a couple of very quick and spacious <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/acpropulsion/eBox/ebox_index.html">AC Propulsion eBoxes</a>. Chris Paine's film crew was in attendance filming the EVent.

But the speeches were the real highlight of the evening, delivered from a roof top overlooking the partygoers.  Host <a href="http://www.papercutfilms.com/about/#chris">Chris Paine</a> discussed his recent trip to Detroit for the pre-production GM Chevy Volt unveiling and describing how surreal it was to have the Chevy Volt parked in his backyard for this memorable party. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelsea_Sexton">Chelsea Sexton</a> followed with another eloquent summary of Plug In America's humble grassroots beginnings.   Plug In America's president <a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/about-us/our-team.html">Linda Nicholes</a> and board member <a href="http://www.alexandrapaul.com/">Alexandra Paul</a> gave a surprise thank you to two dedicated PIA volunteers. Renowned auto journalist <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/writers/dan-neil">Dan Neil</a> of the LA Times delivered a rave review of the GM Chevy Volt - and some of his trademark wit. And lastly, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Woolsey">James Woolsey</a> summarized the vital national security requirement for our nation to embrace, develop, and deploy plug-in electric vehicles.

The party also featured a silent auction for green and EV related items, including a <a href="http://www.duffyboats.com/">Duffy Electric Boat</a> rental, a <a href="http://www.zeromotorcycles.com/">2009 Zero X Electric Motorcycle</a>, and a beautiful blue <a href="http://www.vectrixusa.com/">2008 Vectrix Electric Maxi-Scooter</a> (from <a href="http://www.delamo-motorsports.com/">Delamo Motorsports</a> in Redondo Beach). <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/vectrix/ElectricMaxi-Scooter/2007.03.16VectrixDemo/VectrixDemo.html">Click here to see my Vectrix Electric Maxi-Scooter</a> coverage from March 2007.

Thanks go out to Plug In America Managing Director Jeanne Trombly, event organizer Nicole Landers, sustainability champion and solar chef extraordinaire <a href="http://action.pluginamerica.org/blastContent.jsp?email_blast_KEY=1119095&amp;t=#article4">Cathy Lam</a>, and all the other volunteers who made Plug In America's first fundraiser such a success!

One of our favorite guests from our shoot in Iceland, Bill Dube and his <a href="http://www.killacycle.com/">KillaCycle</a> Team, made headlines this past week in Colorado with a new EV world speed record.

On Thursday October 23rd, 2008, Team <a href="http://www.killacycle.com/">KillaCycle</a> set their latest drag racing world record at <a href="http://www.bandimere.com/">Bandimere Raceway</a>. Rider Scotty Pollacheck piloted the wickedly fast all electric <a href="http://www.a123systems.com/">A123Systems</a> NanoPhosphate battery powered motorcycle down the quarter mile in only 7.89 seconds, ending with a top speed of 168 MPH.

Scotty's run qualifies as a new official <a href="http://www.nedra.com/">NEDRA</a> (National Electric Drag Racing Association) record, vaulting the KillaCycle into the history books as the world's quickest quarter mile electric vehicle of any kind.

The KillaCycle's A123Systems battery pack is comprised of 1,210 type <a href="http://www.a123systems.com/#/products/p1">ANR26650M1</a> cells arranged to deliver 375 VDC. The motorcycle's Hi-Torque Electric motor was adjusted to draw 1850 amps for this particular run.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The talented <a href="http://www.myspace.com/kristenlreeves">Kristen Reeves</a> produced this wonderful video segment on <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com">AC Propulsion</a> and their world class electric vehicle drive technology.  For the past 3 years AC Propulsion has been converting gasoline Scion xBs to 100% electric drive with their phenomenal <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/tzero/index.php">AC150gen2 electric drive system</a>.  In her video, Kristen interviews AC Propulsion President &amp; CEO Tom Gage, and legendary actor/director and longtime EV enthusiast <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000158/">Tom Hanks</a>.  Mr. Hanks purchased the very first consumer <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/ebox/index.php">eBox</a> back in 2006 and uses it as his primary vehicle for all SoCal commuting.

Kristen writes:  "Imagine taking the car you drive now, and never having to stop at a gas station ever again. AC Propulsion, has been converting gas-fueled cars to electric for two decades.  This is a piece profiling AC Propulsion's car, the <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/ebox/index.php">eBox</a>, with a special interview with Tom Hanks who owns one of these cars.  Is this the way of the future?"

<p>Last week I was notified by <a href="http://www.cleanfuelconnection.com/">Clean Fuel Connection</a> (the company contracted by MINI to deploy the MINI E specific <a href="http://www.clippercreek.net/">Clipper Creek</a> charge stations) that they would be conducting an initial site inspection of my garage and electrical service to insure I could support a <a href="http://www.minispace.com/en_us/projects/electric-mini-e/">MINI E</a>, <b>ampicillin dilution</b>.  <b>Bla ampicillin</b>,   On Wednesday, March 11th, <b>ampicillin msds</b>, <b>Molecular weight of ampicillin</b>, 2009, at 1:30pm I met with a very friendly Paul Jette of Sunpower Electrical, <b>pharmacokinetics of ampicillin</b>, <b>Ampicillin spectrum</b>, the electrical contractor assigned to do the actual charge station install.  He inspected and took some photos of my 200Amp main electrical utility panel, <b>ampicillin contraindications</b>, <b>Binotal ampicillin</b>, and the garage space where the Clipper Creek MINI E charge station will be installed.  <b>Lb ampicillin</b>,  A couple of years ago I had upgraded my electrical distribution system when I self-installed a 4kW Photovoltaic system with the knowledge that plug-in EVs would soon be in my driving future. My electrical cleanup resulted in a very neat and sparsely populated main panel, <b>ampicillin uses</b>, <b>Ampicillin brand name</b>, as I offloaded all individual circuits to a couple of subpanels.  A majority of residences' main electrical utility panel is their only panel, <b>ampicillin satellite colonies</b>, <b>Ampicillin synthesis</b>, and many times it is completely stuffed with breakers and wiring, with no room for additional expansion, <b>ampicillin production</b>.  <b>Ampicillin tr 500 mg</b>,  This is a result many times of the initial builder trying to save a few $$ and installing a less expensive panel.  Generally, <b>ampicillin satellite colonies</b>, <b>Ampicillin sensitivity</b>, the cost of the electrical panel is "in the noise" (negligible), where the the majority of the cost of any electrical work is in the labor, <b>stability of ampicillin</b>.</p>

<p>Paul and I discussed the Clipper Creek charge station during his visit, <b>lb ampicillin</b>.  It is to be protected by a 60amp feed breaker installed at the main panel.  Paul confirmed the location I had already selected for mounting of the charge station to be ideal.  I learned I was Paul's 3rd MINI E initial site visit that day.  These were his very first visits in the MINI E deployment program.</p>
<p>While MINI is picking up the tab for any and all electrical work required to install the <a href="http://www.clippercreek.net/">Clipper Creek</a> <b>Lb ampicillin</b>, charge station, being an engineer  I have the desire to install a kilowatt-hour meter ahead of the charge station to log EV charging kW/hrs.  This self-imposed requirement means the charge station install by MINI at my house will be one of their simplest, as they just need to connect the charge station a few feet directly to the pre-installed and wired <a href="http://www.milbankmfg.com/">Milbank</a> kilowatt-hour meter box I'll already have in place.  I'm looking forward to a callback from Clean Fuel Connection once they are ready to send out the Clipper Creek charge station for installation.</p>

<p>Hasner’s electric car tax break gets boost</p>
<p>Posted by Josh Hafenbrack at 9:50 AM 2009.03.10</p>
<p>The Legislature is taking a step toward giving a Sunshine State boost to the next generation of automobiles: electric-powered cars, <b>ampicillin plate</b>.</p>
<p>An effort led by House Majority Leader Adam Hasner, <b>ampicillin msds</b>, <b>Ampicillin antibiotic resistance</b>, R-Boca Raton, to give a sales tax exemption to consumers who buy battery-powered, <b>ampicillin anhydrous</b>, <b>Ampicillin reconstitution</b>, electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids picked up a unanimous endorsement today.</p>
<p>The measure also would set aside 0, <b>sigma ampicillin</b>, <b>Kanamycin ampicillin</b>, 000 to provide incentives to build 100 charging stations throughout the state, since electric cars usually only last from 40 miles to 100 miles between charges, <b>lb broth ampicillin</b>.  <b>Ampicillin oral</b>, Today, electric vehicles and plug-in cars are a niche product, <b>uses for ampicillin</b>.  <b>Ampicillin brand name</b>, There are just 100 plug-ins on the road on Florida.  <b>Ampicillin plate</b>, But the electric car is coming – if a little slowly. The federal Energy Department has  billion to loan to companies to produce a new breed of electric cars, <b>ampicillin solubility</b>.  <b>Ampicillin history</b>, So far, none of the money has been doled out, <b>ampicillin administration</b>, <b>Binotal ampicillin</b>, but 75 companies, including three Detroit auto manufacturers, <b>ampicillin trade name</b>, <b>Ampicillin tr</b>, have submitted applications, according to the New York Times.</p>
<p>The federal stimulus bill also provides a ,500 tax credit for consumers who purchase plug-in vehicles.</p>
<p>One example is the much-publicized Chevy Volt, a plug-in hybrid due out in 2010 that ailing General Motors is staking its future on.  Ford is rolling out an electric four-door sedan in 2011 and Toyota plans to bring an electric car to showrooms in 2012, <b>ampicillin plate</b>.</p>
<p>“This is a chance for Florida to take the lead in the electric car movement,” Hasner said.</p>
<p>The electric car bill (HB879) would exempt sales of electric vehicles from the state’s 6-cent sales tax and provide a ,000 corporate tax credit to companies that have more than 10 electric or plug-in vehicles in their fleets.</p>
<p>In addition, consumers and businesses would be eligible for a ,000 rebate after converting a gasoline-powered vehicle to a plug-in.</p>
<p>As the House Energy and Utilities Committee gave its stamp of approval to the measure, Hasner is planning a showing of “Who Killed the Electric Car?” to legislators tonight at the Tallahassee IMAX theatre. During the fall campaign, Hasner drove a leased 2002 all-electric Toyota RAV-4 throughout his south Palm Beach-Broward county district — when gas was at its -a-gallon peak. “I drove by the gas station with a smile every single day, because I was using an electric car that didn’t use any gas,” he said.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Last Thursday, I flipped on the KTLA 5 news around 10:30pm, while grabbing a late dinner, and caught a <a href="http://www.fiskerautomotive.com/">Fisker Automotive</a> Karma ad...on TV!  I was caught completely and pleasantly by surprise seeing this great ad, as I don't think we've yet seen any other EV/PHEV specific ads from any of the smaller start-ups.

Justifying the cost of TV ads could be difficult, but has the positive effect of alerting the general population - most of which are not closely following the EV movement - to realize EVs/PHEVs are happening.

I was able to find the <a href="http://www.fiskerautomotive.com/">Fisker Automotive</a> Karma ad that ran during the KTLA pre-show
broadcast of the Academy Awards (2009.02.22), <strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJlhcBotQ7w&amp;fmt=18">archived on YouTube</a></strong> for those that have not yet seen it:

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[We have TWO reports from guest bloggers who attended the <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a> in the Wild EVent Thursday night at Smooth's Sports Grille in Long Beach, CA.  Also embedded below is a recent Aptera 2e demo ride video (with founder Steve Fambro) from the <a href="http://www.ted.com/">2009 TED conference</a> (held in Long Beach, CA) recently uploaded by Aptera forum member Josh.

<strong><em>Guest Blogger - Jenean Smith</em></strong>
It was a rainy night but I decided to jump in my car and see the new <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a> in person tonight in Long Beach. None of the usual suspects were there, (no one I recognized at least), which is a good sign that more and more people are interested in EVs. It's a very sleek car indeed and now with front wheel drive -- like something from a Doctor Who episode transported into the future and modernized for 2009.

<strong><em>Guest Blogger - Jim Hannigan</em></strong>
<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/20090205aptera-smooths.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1632 alignright" title="20090205aptera-smooths" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/20090205aptera-smooths.jpg" alt="20090205aptera-smooths" width="298" height="224" /></a>I went by Smooth's on my way home from work. The Aptera was parked in the restaurant's sidewalk seating area that in the winter is roofed over and enclosed with vinyl fabric. 25 or 30 people were there along with another eight or so Aptera employees as identified by their logo shirts. There was no organized presentation while I was there, but the vehicle could be touched, photographed (I only had a cellphone) and at least for a while some were allowed to sit in it.

I was not aware that this was the first time an Aptera had been shown in public. Several of those in attendance excitedly recited their reservation numbers.

I was told the car was a driveable pre-production unit and that some features would be changed. This one had the rear quarter windows and outside mirrors but not the opening door windows shown on the website. Aptera used it for VIP rides at the TED conference earlier in the day (supposedly including Tesla founder Martin Eberhard).

Questions on battery specifics, observed range, powertrain details etc. were all left TBA.

The vehicle is striking in appearance and was very well finished inside and out. The interior, controls and switches all seemed production grade. Exceptions were the A/C air vents which were complex and delicate looking plastic pieces that I was cautioned not to touch.

The car looks small but is dimensionally large; nearly 15 feet long and over 7 feet wide across the outboard front wheels. The aero tail is relatively high but the front looks very low. I was initially surprised at the small size of the manufacturer's license plate on the car until I remembered the Aptera is classed as a motorcycle. I would have liked to have seen the car on the street around other cars for perspective.

The car was powered up to the extent that the flat-panel dash, Nav displays, parking and brake lights worked. I was able to get a few seconds in the driver's seat. The seats were comfortable, but not deeply contoured. Footwells seemed wide, and head and legroom were good. Front visibility was very good, but not so to the rear : the side mirrors were tiny and the rear window presented a small aperture a long way back.

It is far too early for performance claims but Aptera will likely beat Tesla for eventful ingress/egress. I've owned a Lotus for years and got in and out without a problem, but I watched just about everyone else hit their heads either on the "butterfly" doors or on the doorframe or both.

Dear Aptera Family Member,

In our last newsletter we announced that Aptera would be giving 2e test drives to attendees of the TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) conference in Long Beach. We know most of you aren't attending this exclusive event, so when Smooth's, one of Long Beach's premier night spots and sports bars, offered us an opportunity to showcase the vehicle for the rest of our followers, we seized it.

Join us 6:00pm Thursday night, Feb. 5, at Smooth's to see the vehicle in person and meet other Aptera fans. We know that this is last-minute, but we want you to know about any opportunity to see the Aptera in a public setting.

When:  6pm to 9pm Thursday, February 5, 2009
Location:  Smooth's Sports Grille, 144 Pine Avenue, Long Beach, CA 90802

Thank you,

The Aptera Team - <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera Motors</a> 2009]]></content:encoded>

Regular readers of this blog will know all about Plug in America's triumphant Inaugural EV Parade West in Santa Monica, CA a few weeks back.   Now here's a chance to enjoy some video from the event.

A final count of 77 electric vehicles and over 250 people participated in the rally and subsequent parade. All types of electric vehicles drove quietly and emission free in formation for a few miles through city streets. Plug In America's dedicated volunteers worked their magic during the few weeks leading up to this latest EVent to organize a very successful and historic green parade. EV grins were everywhere and the enthusiasm for plug-ins couldn't have been greater. Plug In America's Inaugural EV Parade West rates as one of the best plug-in EVents to date.

Click play on the below 38 minute video of Plug In America's Inaugural EV Parade West to watch 26 minutes of rally speeches and experience the parade festivities.  Thanks to <a href="http://www.viddler.com">Viddler</a>'s great contextual timeline tagging feature, you can easily skip to any speaker or portion of the video without delay.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The talented <a href="http://www.myspace.com/kristenlreeves">Kristen Reeves</a> produced this wonderful video segment on <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com">AC Propulsion</a> and their world class electric vehicle drive technology.  For the past 3 years AC Propulsion has been converting gasoline Scion xBs to 100% electric drive with their phenomenal <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/tzero/index.php">AC150gen2 electric drive system</a>.  In her video, Kristen interviews AC Propulsion President &amp; CEO Tom Gage, and legendary actor/director and longtime EV enthusiast <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000158/">Tom Hanks</a>.  Mr. Hanks purchased the very first consumer <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/ebox/index.php">eBox</a> back in 2006 and uses it as his primary vehicle for all SoCal commuting.

Kristen writes:  "Imagine taking the car you drive now, and never having to stop at a gas station ever again. AC Propulsion, has been converting gas-fueled cars to electric for two decades.  This is a piece profiling AC Propulsion's car, the <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/ebox/index.php">eBox</a>, with a special interview with Tom Hanks who owns one of these cars.  Is this the way of the future?"

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Sacramento's <a href="http://www.news10.net/">News 10</a> reports on the electric cars of <a href="http://www.ci.vacaville.ca.us/">Vacaville, CA</a>.  In 2003 Vacaville, also known as <a href="http://www.fleetmag.com/print/Fleet-Maintenance/Welcome-to-Voltageville/109">Voltageville</a>, was miles ahead of other cities with over 100 electric cars on the road in both <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">GM EV1</a>s and <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">Toyota RAV4-EV</a>s.  The California Air Resources Board's <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2008.03.26PIArallyCARB/2008.03.26PIArallyCARB.html">1990 Zero Emissions Vehicle mandate</a> would have required 10% of all vehicles sold in California to be zero emissions.  But the <a href="http://www.arb.ca.gov">CARB</a> ZEV mandate was rescinded in 2003 due to pressure from the automakers.  It resulted in the confiscation of the majority of EVs which had only been available under lease.

In the <a href="http://www.news10.net/">News 10</a> segment <a href="http://www.evworld.com/article.cfm?storyid=152">Ed Huestis, Vacaville's Transportation Manager</a>, comments:  "Once you've driven an electric vehicle, you never want to go back to gasoline...you just don't."  Former GM EV1 owner Jerry Hobrecht and Toyota RAV4-EV owner <a href="http://www.evnut.com/">Darell Dickey</a> are also interviewed expressing their immense enthusiasm for electric drive.

Now, every major automaker is scrambling to produce an electric vehicle.  Watch the <a href="http://www.news10.net/video/default.aspx?playerId=newsmaker&amp;maven_playlistId=63762cfa11fe40643571b0d28136516c002a19f3&amp;maven_referrer=mrss&amp;maven_referralPlaylistId=63762cfa11fe40643571b0d28136516c002a19f3&amp;maven_referralObject=941648966">News 10 report</a> after the jump to learn why "No city is more ready for the return of the electric car than <a href="http://www.ci.vacaville.ca.us/">Vacaville, CA</a>."

He wants to show people that solutions already exist to resolve the Global Warming crisis.  <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/mission/">Click here to read Solartaxi's mission statement</a></span>.

Towards this end, the Solartaxi is a promotional vehicle and not one that is suggested we all be driving. The <span><a href="http://www.q-cells.com/">Q-Cell solar panels</a></span> mounted on the trailer towed behind the Solartaxi provide 50% of the electricity required for the journey. They're mainly along for the ride to demonstrate that photovoltaic solar technology is real and available today. They also help to ensure the vehicle can keep traveling even in remote sections of the world should they fail to find a plug for recharging.  The other 50% of the electricity required for the journey is obtained by plugging into the electrical grid en route.  In Switzerland, the Solartaxi team has created a stationary solar array to feed green power into the (global) electrical grid. <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/technology/energy-concept/">Solartaxi just extracts that greenly produced electrical energy from the grid while touring the world</a></span>. We should all support the installation of rooftop mounted PV solar to power our homes and our near-future plug-in electric vehicles.

Solartaxi has two Swiss made 14kwhr <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/technology/zebra-battery/">Zebra batteries</a></span> which are a <span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten_salt_battery">molten-salt type battery</a></span> that has an operating temperature window of 270-350degC (518-662degF). The battery is insulated in a thermos-style package to minimize heat loss and has a life of about 1000 charging cycles. Zebra batteries have an energy density of around 90Whr/kg. Solartaxi has one of these Zebra batteries in the car portion and a second is located along the axle of the photovoltaic solar panel trailer.  That gives a cummulative energy storage capacity of 28kWhrs. The Solartaxi electric drive motor powering the single rear wheel is rated at a peak of 13kW.  The Q-Cells PV solar modules produce upwards of 600 watts. To recharge the batteries solely from the rear trailer would take about 4 days.

After admiring and discussing the Solartaxi for almost an hour, Solartaxi Tour Director Louis Palmer gave a fantastic 40 minute PowerPoint presentation on his mission and adventures.   As of this summer's SoCal visit, Louis had traveled two thirds of his journey around the world. The presentation was followed by an enthusiastic EV technology discussion along with real test drives of the Solartaxi - viewable in the video below.

<em><strong>Friday November 14th, 2008 - GM Training Center - Burbank, CA</strong></em>

<strong><em> <span style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">The Honorable Nate Holden, former California State Senator and L.A. City Council Member, held a press conference demanding General Motors apologize to the American people for destroying the automaker's <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">EV1</a></span> plug-in electric vehicle.  Mr. Holden demanded the EV1's immediate re-introduction before, or in exchange for, any Government bailout of GM. </span></em></strong>

“General Motors compounded their financial woes by destroying the <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">EV1</a></span> and continued to work with the oil companies to gouge the public. It's a dishonest act on the part of General Motors.” said Holden.

This press conference was held at the very same GM facility where the <span><a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/saveev1.htm">EV1 Vigil</a></span> took place during February and March 2005. Loyal <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">GM EV1</a></span> customers tried valiantly to save 78 remaining EV1s from being <span><a href="http://www.evnut.com/ev1_crushed.htm">crushed</a></span>. Activists kept a 24/7 watch over the vehicles and offered to buy the EV1s from GM for their residual value. <span><a href="http://www.alexandrapaul.com/">Alexandra Paul</a></span> and <span><a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1665635/">Colette Divine</a></span> were arrested while peacefully protesting and making a stand against an EV1 filled GM transport semi attempting to exit the facility.   Chris Paine's film <span>"<a href="http://www.whokilledthelectricar.com">Who Killed the Electric Car ?</a>"</span> documented the <span><a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/saveev1.htm">EV1 Vigil</a></span>. Former EV1 drivers Doug Korthof and Chris Reeves attended and spoke at Holden's press conference, having each arrived in their respective plug-in EVs (<span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">2002 Toyota RAV4-EV</a></span> and <span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevy_S-10_EV">1997 GM Chevy S10 EV</a></span>).

Alex Datig (Business &amp; Public Affairs Consultant, <span><a href="http://www.highroadla.com/">HighRoad Consulting Group LLC</a></span>) let us know that Mr. Holden had a fruitful day getting the EV1 word out.  After the press conference at the GM Training Center Mr Holden went to City Hall to conduct more interviews and to speak to elected officials. He sent the story to <span><a href="http://www.kfwb.com/">KFWB News 980</a></span> and to President-elect Barack Obama.  Mr Holden had the following words for the loyal supporters of the EV1 :

"I want to thank the EV1 family for their support and encouragement for me to continue the fight to hold General Motors and other auto manufacturers' feet to the fire. As you know, today I strongly urge Congress to withhold any bailout funds from the auto industry, unless and until the industry agrees to mass-produce fuel efficiency automobiles; electric cars.

Congress should not, under any circumstances, release the bailout money to automobile manufacturers without making these demands. Without these demands, the automobile manufacturers will just continue with "business as usual," manufacturing gas-guzzlers, which would increase our dependency on the middle-east oil producing countries. This dependency must end now!

We are the advocates of the electric car family and must continue our fight to save the electric car. We must not allow Congress to backslide, or "bait and switch." At the very least, members of the electric car family demand that the conditions that were incorporated in the funding legislation of the  Billion loan package of September 2008 be adhered to.

I respectfully urge each member of the electric car family to contact Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of the United States Senate, Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and each of your local members of Congress, to let them know that any deviation on their part from the conditions of the loan approved in September will not be tolerated.

Lets keep the pressure on!"

Nate Holden
California State Senate, ret.
Los Angeles City Council, ret.

Hon. Nate Holden's next press conference on the EV1 will be held on Wednesday, November 19, 2008 at 10:00 AM at the <span><a href="http://www.laautoshow.com/">LA Auto Show</a></span> (<span><a href="http://www.lacclink.com/">LA Convention Center</a></span> - Pavilion adjacent to West Entrance).

The party was totally sold out: 250 guests and two superb electric vehicle rockstars - GM's newly released preproduction prototype <a href="http://www.chevrolet.com/electriccar/">Chevy Volt</a> and a silver <a href="http://www.teslamotors.com/">Tesla Roadster</a>. Due to parking limitations, valet parking was provided and guests were shuttled to the venue in several <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">Toyota RAV4-EVs</a> and a couple of very quick and spacious <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/acpropulsion/eBox/ebox_index.html">AC Propulsion eBoxes</a>. Chris Paine's film crew was in attendance filming the EVent.

But the speeches were the real highlight of the evening, delivered from a roof top overlooking the partygoers.  Host <a href="http://www.papercutfilms.com/about/#chris">Chris Paine</a> discussed his recent trip to Detroit for the pre-production GM Chevy Volt unveiling and describing how surreal it was to have the Chevy Volt parked in his backyard for this memorable party. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelsea_Sexton">Chelsea Sexton</a> followed with another eloquent summary of Plug In America's humble grassroots beginnings.   Plug In America's president <a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/about-us/our-team.html">Linda Nicholes</a> and board member <a href="http://www.alexandrapaul.com/">Alexandra Paul</a> gave a surprise thank you to two dedicated PIA volunteers. Renowned auto journalist <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/writers/dan-neil">Dan Neil</a> of the LA Times delivered a rave review of the GM Chevy Volt - and some of his trademark wit. And lastly, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Woolsey">James Woolsey</a> summarized the vital national security requirement for our nation to embrace, develop, and deploy plug-in electric vehicles.

The party also featured a silent auction for green and EV related items, including a <a href="http://www.duffyboats.com/">Duffy Electric Boat</a> rental, a <a href="http://www.zeromotorcycles.com/">2009 Zero X Electric Motorcycle</a>, and a beautiful blue <a href="http://www.vectrixusa.com/">2008 Vectrix Electric Maxi-Scooter</a> (from <a href="http://www.delamo-motorsports.com/">Delamo Motorsports</a> in Redondo Beach). <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/vectrix/ElectricMaxi-Scooter/2007.03.16VectrixDemo/VectrixDemo.html">Click here to see my Vectrix Electric Maxi-Scooter</a> coverage from March 2007.

One of our favorite guests from our shoot in Iceland, Bill Dube and his <a href="http://www.killacycle.com/">KillaCycle</a> Team, made headlines this past week in Colorado with a new EV world speed record.

On Thursday October 23rd, 2008, Team <a href="http://www.killacycle.com/">KillaCycle</a> set their latest drag racing world record at <a href="http://www.bandimere.com/">Bandimere Raceway</a>. Rider Scotty Pollacheck piloted the wickedly fast all electric <a href="http://www.a123systems.com/">A123Systems</a> NanoPhosphate battery powered motorcycle down the quarter mile in only 7.89 seconds, ending with a top speed of 168 MPH.

Scotty's run qualifies as a new official <a href="http://www.nedra.com/">NEDRA</a> (National Electric Drag Racing Association) record, vaulting the KillaCycle into the history books as the world's quickest quarter mile electric vehicle of any kind.

The KillaCycle's A123Systems battery pack is comprised of 1,210 type <a href="http://www.a123systems.com/#/products/p1">ANR26650M1</a> cells arranged to deliver 375 VDC. The motorcycle's Hi-Torque Electric motor was adjusted to draw 1850 amps for this particular run.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Sacramento's <a href="http://www.news10.net/">News 10</a> reports on the electric cars of <a href="http://www.ci.vacaville.ca.us/">Vacaville, CA</a>.  In 2003 Vacaville, also known as <a href="http://www.fleetmag.com/print/Fleet-Maintenance/Welcome-to-Voltageville/1$1909">Voltageville</a>, was miles ahead of other cities with over 100 electric cars on the road in both <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">GM EV1</a>s and <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">Toyota RAV4-EV</a>s.  The California Air Resources Board's <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2008.03.26PIArallyCARB/2008.03.26PIArallyCARB.html">1990 Zero Emissions Vehicle mandate</a> would have required 10% of all vehicles sold in California to be zero emissions.  But the <a href="http://www.arb.ca.gov">CARB</a> ZEV mandate was rescinded in 2003 due to pressure from the automakers.  It resulted in the confiscation of the majority of EVs which had only been available under lease.

In the <a href="http://www.news10.net/">News 10</a> segment <a href="http://www.evworld.com/article.cfm?storyid=152">Ed Huestis, Vacaville's Transportation Manager</a>, comments:  "Once you've driven an electric vehicle, you never want to go back to gasoline...you just don't."  Former GM EV1 owner Jerry Hobrecht and Toyota RAV4-EV owner <a href="http://www.evnut.com/">Darell Dickey</a> are also interviewed expressing their immense enthusiasm for electric drive.

Now, every major automaker is scrambling to produce an electric vehicle.  Watch the <a href="http://www.news10.net/video/default.aspx?playerId=newsmaker&amp;maven_playlistId=63762cfa11fe40643571b0d28136516c002a19f3&amp;maven_referrer=mrss&amp;maven_referralPlaylistId=63762cfa11fe40643571b0d28136516c002a19f3&amp;maven_referralObject=941648966">News 10 report</a> after the jump to learn why "No city is more ready for the return of the electric car than <a href="http://www.ci.vacaville.ca.us/">Vacaville, CA</a>."

<p>Last week I was notified by <a href="http://www.cleanfuelconnection.com/">Clean Fuel Connection</a> (the company contracted by MINI to deploy the MINI E specific <a href="http://www.clippercreek.net/">Clipper Creek</a> charge stations) that they would be conducting an initial site inspection of my garage and electrical service to insure I could support a <a href="http://www.minispace.com/en_us/projects/electric-mini-e/">MINI E</a>, <b>ampicillin dilution</b>.  <b>Bla ampicillin</b>,   On Wednesday, March 11th, <b>ampicillin msds</b>, <b>Molecular weight of ampicillin</b>, 2009, at 1:30pm I met with a very friendly Paul Jette of Sunpower Electrical, <b>pharmacokinetics of ampicillin</b>, <b>Ampicillin spectrum</b>, the electrical contractor assigned to do the actual charge station install.  He inspected and took some photos of my 200Amp main electrical utility panel, <b>ampicillin contraindications</b>, <b>Binotal ampicillin</b>, and the garage space where the Clipper Creek MINI E charge station will be installed.  <b>Lb ampicillin</b>,  A couple of years ago I had upgraded my electrical distribution system when I self-installed a 4kW Photovoltaic system with the knowledge that plug-in EVs would soon be in my driving future. My electrical cleanup resulted in a very neat and sparsely populated main panel, <b>ampicillin uses</b>, <b>Ampicillin brand name</b>, as I offloaded all individual circuits to a couple of subpanels.  A majority of residences' main electrical utility panel is their only panel, <b>ampicillin satellite colonies</b>, <b>Ampicillin synthesis</b>, and many times it is completely stuffed with breakers and wiring, with no room for additional expansion, <b>ampicillin production</b>.  <b>Ampicillin tr 500 mg</b>,  This is a result many times of the initial builder trying to save a few $$ and installing a less expensive panel.  Generally, <b>ampicillin satellite colonies</b>, <b>Ampicillin sensitivity</b>, the cost of the electrical panel is "in the noise" (negligible), where the the majority of the cost of any electrical work is in the labor, <b>stability of ampicillin</b>.</p>

<p>Paul and I discussed the Clipper Creek charge station during his visit, <b>lb ampicillin</b>.  It is to be protected by a 60amp feed breaker installed at the main panel.  Paul confirmed the location I had already selected for mounting of the charge station to be ideal.  I learned I was Paul's 3rd MINI E initial site visit that day.  These were his very first visits in the MINI E deployment program.</p>
<p>While MINI is picking up the tab for any and all electrical work required to install the <a href="http://www.clippercreek.net/">Clipper Creek</a> <b>Lb ampicillin</b>, charge station, being an engineer  I have the desire to install a kilowatt-hour meter ahead of the charge station to log EV charging kW/hrs.  This self-imposed requirement means the charge station install by MINI at my house will be one of their simplest, as they just need to connect the charge station a few feet directly to the pre-installed and wired <a href="http://www.milbankmfg.com/">Milbank</a> kilowatt-hour meter box I'll already have in place.  I'm looking forward to a callback from Clean Fuel Connection once they are ready to send out the Clipper Creek charge station for installation.</p>

<p>Hasner’s electric car tax break gets boost</p>
<p>Posted by Josh Hafenbrack at 9:50 AM 2009.03.10</p>
<p>The Legislature is taking a step toward giving a Sunshine State boost to the next generation of automobiles: electric-powered cars, <b>ampicillin plate</b>.</p>
<p>An effort led by House Majority Leader Adam Hasner, <b>ampicillin msds</b>, <b>Ampicillin antibiotic resistance</b>, R-Boca Raton, to give a sales tax exemption to consumers who buy battery-powered, <b>ampicillin anhydrous</b>, <b>Ampicillin reconstitution</b>, electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids picked up a unanimous endorsement today.</p>
<p>The measure also would set aside 0, <b>sigma ampicillin</b>, <b>Kanamycin ampicillin</b>, 000 to provide incentives to build 100 charging stations throughout the state, since electric cars usually only last from 40 miles to 100 miles between charges, <b>lb broth ampicillin</b>.  <b>Ampicillin oral</b>, Today, electric vehicles and plug-in cars are a niche product, <b>uses for ampicillin</b>.  <b>Ampicillin brand name</b>, There are just 100 plug-ins on the road on Florida.  <b>Ampicillin plate</b>, But the electric car is coming – if a little slowly. The federal Energy Department has  billion to loan to companies to produce a new breed of electric cars, <b>ampicillin solubility</b>.  <b>Ampicillin history</b>, So far, none of the money has been doled out, <b>ampicillin administration</b>, <b>Binotal ampicillin</b>, but 75 companies, including three Detroit auto manufacturers, <b>ampicillin trade name</b>, <b>Ampicillin tr</b>, have submitted applications, according to the New York Times.</p>
<p>The federal stimulus bill also provides a ,500 tax credit for consumers who purchase plug-in vehicles.</p>
<p>One example is the much-publicized Chevy Volt, a plug-in hybrid due out in 2010 that ailing General Motors is staking its future on.  Ford is rolling out an electric four-door sedan in 2011 and Toyota plans to bring an electric car to showrooms in 2012, <b>ampicillin plate</b>.</p>
<p>“This is a chance for Florida to take the lead in the electric car movement,” Hasner said.</p>
<p>The electric car bill (HB879) would exempt sales of electric vehicles from the state’s 6-cent sales tax and provide a ,000 corporate tax credit to companies that have more than 10 electric or plug-in vehicles in their fleets.</p>
<p>In addition, consumers and businesses would be eligible for a ,000 rebate after converting a gasoline-powered vehicle to a plug-in.</p>
<p>As the House Energy and Utilities Committee gave its stamp of approval to the measure, Hasner is planning a showing of “Who Killed the Electric Car?” to legislators tonight at the Tallahassee IMAX theatre. During the fall campaign, Hasner drove a leased 2002 all-electric Toyota RAV-4 throughout his south Palm Beach-Broward county district — when gas was at its -a-gallon peak. “I drove by the gas station with a smile every single day, because I was using an electric car that didn’t use any gas,” he said.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Last Thursday, I flipped on the KTLA 5 news around 10:30pm, while grabbing a late dinner, and caught a <a href="http://www.fiskerautomotive.com/">Fisker Automotive</a> Karma ad...on TV!  I was caught completely and pleasantly by surprise seeing this great ad, as I don't think we've yet seen any other EV/PHEV specific ads from any of the smaller start-ups.

Justifying the cost of TV ads could be difficult, but has the positive effect of alerting the general population - most of which are not closely following the EV movement - to realize EVs/PHEVs are happening.

I was able to find the <a href="http://www.fiskerautomotive.com/">Fisker Automotive</a> Karma ad that ran during the KTLA pre-show
broadcast of the Academy Awards (2009.02.22), <strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJlhcBotQ7w&amp;fmt=18">archived on YouTube</a></strong> for those that have not yet seen it:

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[We have TWO reports from guest bloggers who attended the <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a> in the Wild EVent Thursday night at Smooth's Sports Grille in Long Beach, CA.  Also embedded below is a recent Aptera 2e demo ride video (with founder Steve Fambro) from the <a href="http://www.ted.com/">2009 TED conference</a> (held in Long Beach, CA) recently uploaded by Aptera forum member Josh.

<strong><em>Guest Blogger - Jenean Smith</em></strong>
It was a rainy night but I decided to jump in my car and see the new <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a> in person tonight in Long Beach. None of the usual suspects were there, (no one I recognized at least), which is a good sign that more and more people are interested in EVs. It's a very sleek car indeed and now with front wheel drive -- like something from a Doctor Who episode transported into the future and modernized for 2009.

<strong><em>Guest Blogger - Jim Hannigan</em></strong>
<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/20090205aptera-smooths.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1632 alignright" title="20090205aptera-smooths" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/20090205aptera-smooths.jpg" alt="20090205aptera-smooths" width="298" height="224" /></a>I went by Smooth's on my way home from work. The Aptera was parked in the restaurant's sidewalk seating area that in the winter is roofed over and enclosed with vinyl fabric. 25 or 30 people were there along with another eight or so Aptera employees as identified by their logo shirts. There was no organized presentation while I was there, but the vehicle could be touched, photographed (I only had a cellphone) and at least for a while some were allowed to sit in it.

I was not aware that this was the first time an Aptera had been shown in public. Several of those in attendance excitedly recited their reservation numbers.

I was told the car was a driveable pre-production unit and that some features would be changed. This one had the rear quarter windows and outside mirrors but not the opening door windows shown on the website. Aptera used it for VIP rides at the TED conference earlier in the day (supposedly including Tesla founder Martin Eberhard).

Questions on battery specifics, observed range, powertrain details etc. were all left TBA.

The vehicle is striking in appearance and was very well finished inside and out. The interior, controls and switches all seemed production grade. Exceptions were the A/C air vents which were complex and delicate looking plastic pieces that I was cautioned not to touch.

The car looks small but is dimensionally large; nearly 15 feet long and over 7 feet wide across the outboard front wheels. The aero tail is relatively high but the front looks very low. I was initially surprised at the small size of the manufacturer's license plate on the car until I remembered the Aptera is classed as a motorcycle. I would have liked to have seen the car on the street around other cars for perspective.

The car was powered up to the extent that the flat-panel dash, Nav displays, parking and brake lights worked. I was able to get a few seconds in the driver's seat. The seats were comfortable, but not deeply contoured. Footwells seemed wide, and head and legroom were good. Front visibility was very good, but not so to the rear : the side mirrors were tiny and the rear window presented a small aperture a long way back.

It is far too early for performance claims but Aptera will likely beat Tesla for eventful ingress/egress. I've owned a Lotus for years and got in and out without a problem, but I watched just about everyone else hit their heads either on the "butterfly" doors or on the doorframe or both.

Dear Aptera Family Member,

In our last newsletter we announced that Aptera would be giving 2e test drives to attendees of the TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) conference in Long Beach. We know most of you aren't attending this exclusive event, so when Smooth's, one of Long Beach's premier night spots and sports bars, offered us an opportunity to showcase the vehicle for the rest of our followers, we seized it.

Join us 6:00pm Thursday night, Feb. 5, at Smooth's to see the vehicle in person and meet other Aptera fans. We know that this is last-minute, but we want you to know about any opportunity to see the Aptera in a public setting.

When:  6pm to 9pm Thursday, February 5, 2009
Location:  Smooth's Sports Grille, 144 Pine Avenue, Long Beach, CA 90802

Thank you,

The Aptera Team - <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera Motors</a> 2009]]></content:encoded>

Regular readers of this blog will know all about Plug in America's triumphant Inaugural EV Parade West in Santa Monica, CA a few weeks back.   Now here's a chance to enjoy some video from the event.

A final count of 77 electric vehicles and over 250 people participated in the rally and subsequent parade. All types of electric vehicles drove quietly and emission free in formation for a few miles through city streets. Plug In America's dedicated volunteers worked their magic during the few weeks leading up to this latest EVent to organize a very successful and historic green parade. EV grins were everywhere and the enthusiasm for plug-ins couldn't have been greater. Plug In America's Inaugural EV Parade West rates as one of the best plug-in EVents to date.

Click play on the below 38 minute video of Plug In America's Inaugural EV Parade West to watch 26 minutes of rally speeches and experience the parade festivities.  Thanks to <a href="http://www.viddler.com">Viddler</a>'s great contextual timeline tagging feature, you can easily skip to any speaker or portion of the video without delay.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The talented <a href="http://www.myspace.com/kristenlreeves">Kristen Reeves</a> produced this wonderful video segment on <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com">AC Propulsion</a> and their world class electric vehicle drive technology.  For the past 3 years AC Propulsion has been converting gasoline Scion xBs to 100% electric drive with their phenomenal <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/tzero/index.php">AC150gen2 electric drive system</a>.  In her video, Kristen interviews AC Propulsion President &amp; CEO Tom Gage, and legendary actor/director and longtime EV enthusiast <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000158/">Tom Hanks</a>.  Mr. Hanks purchased the very first consumer <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/ebox/index.php">eBox</a> back in 2006 and uses it as his primary vehicle for all SoCal commuting.

Kristen writes:  "Imagine taking the car you drive now, and never having to stop at a gas station ever again. AC Propulsion, has been converting gas-fueled cars to electric for two decades.  This is a piece profiling AC Propulsion's car, the <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/ebox/index.php">eBox</a>, with a special interview with Tom Hanks who owns one of these cars.  Is this the way of the future?"

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Sacramento's <a href="http://www.news10.net/">News 10</a> reports on the electric cars of <a href="http://www.ci.vacaville.ca.us/">Vacaville, CA</a>.  In 2003 Vacaville, also known as <a href="http://www.fleetmag.com/print/Fleet-Maintenance/Welcome-to-Voltageville/109">Voltageville</a>, was miles ahead of other cities with over 100 electric cars on the road in both <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">GM EV1</a>s and <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">Toyota RAV4-EV</a>s.  The California Air Resources Board's <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2008.03.26PIArallyCARB/2008.03.26PIArallyCARB.html">1990 Zero Emissions Vehicle mandate</a> would have required 10% of all vehicles sold in California to be zero emissions.  But the <a href="http://www.arb.ca.gov">CARB</a> ZEV mandate was rescinded in 2003 due to pressure from the automakers.  It resulted in the confiscation of the majority of EVs which had only been available under lease.

In the <a href="http://www.news10.net/">News 10</a> segment <a href="http://www.evworld.com/article.cfm?storyid=152">Ed Huestis, Vacaville's Transportation Manager</a>, comments:  "Once you've driven an electric vehicle, you never want to go back to gasoline...you just don't."  Former GM EV1 owner Jerry Hobrecht and Toyota RAV4-EV owner <a href="http://www.evnut.com/">Darell Dickey</a> are also interviewed expressing their immense enthusiasm for electric drive.

Now, every major automaker is scrambling to produce an electric vehicle.  Watch the <a href="http://www.news10.net/video/default.aspx?playerId=newsmaker&amp;maven_playlistId=63762cfa11fe40643571b0d28136516c002a19f3&amp;maven_referrer=mrss&amp;maven_referralPlaylistId=63762cfa11fe40643571b0d28136516c002a19f3&amp;maven_referralObject=941648966">News 10 report</a> after the jump to learn why "No city is more ready for the return of the electric car than <a href="http://www.ci.vacaville.ca.us/">Vacaville, CA</a>."

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Electric car and renewable energy enthusiast <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/funkymotoman">Gerry Gaydos</a> shares his thoughts during a recent trip to California in the nicely narrated video short below.  Gerry's pursuit of renewable energy and electric drive began in the summer of 1997 when he spent time with some engineering students preparing a solar electric race car for the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Solar_Challenge">World Solar Challenge</a>.  His positive experiences led him on a search for an electric drive system that was both powerful and efficient for use in an electric sports car.  In January of 2001 he visited the legendary <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com">AC Propulsion</a> of San Dimas, CA to meet Alan Cocconi and test drive ACP's phenomenal <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/tzero/">tzero electric sports car</a>.  You'll see AC Propulsion's electric drive technology powering <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/acpropulsion/eBox/ebox_index.html">eBoxes</a>, the <a href="http://www.wrightspeed.com/">Wrightspeed X1</a>, <a href="http://www.teslamotors.com/">Tesla Roadsters</a>, and mention of <a href="http://www.mini-e.com">BMW's electric MINI E</a>.  Watch the video to learn more about Gerry's positive outlook for a renewable and electric future.

This summer Swiss visionary <span><a href="http://www.louispalmer.ch/">Louis Palmer</a></span> and his friendly team made several stops in Southern California on their global whirlwind tour with their spectacular <a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/">Solartaxi Electric Vehicle</a>.  One of the stops was at <a href="http://www.avinc.com/chargingsystems.asp">AeroVironment</a> in Simi Valley.

[caption id="attachment_621" align="alignleft" width="200" caption="Solartaxi parked at AeroVironment - Simi Valley, CA."]<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxiav_dsc_1841.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-621" title="solartaxiav_dsc_1841" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxiav_dsc_1841-200x200.jpg" alt="Solartaxi parked at AeroVironment - Simi Valley, CA." width="200" height="200" /></a>[/caption]

The Solartaxi is a realization of one of Louis' childhood dreams : to drive a zero emissions solar powered electric car around the world. He wants to show people that solutions already exist to resolve the Global Warming crisis.  <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/mission/">Click here to read Solartaxi's mission statement</a></span>.

[caption id="attachment_632" align="alignright" width="200" caption="Solartaxi&#39;s Louis Palmer with Paul Scott on a test drive."]<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-632" title="solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902-200x200.jpg" alt="Solartaxi's Louis Palmer with PIA's Paul Scott on a test drive." width="200" height="200" /></a>[/caption]

Towards this end, the Solartaxi is a promotional vehicle and not one that is suggested we all be driving. The <span><a href="http://www.q-cells.com/">Q-Cell solar panels</a></span> mounted on the trailer towed behind the Solartaxi provide 50% of the electricity required for the journey. They're mainly along for the ride to demonstrate that photovoltaic solar technology is real and available today. They also help to ensure the vehicle can keep traveling even in remote sections of the world should they fail to find a plug for recharging.  The other 50% of the electricity required for the journey is obtained by plugging into the electrical grid en route.  In Switzerland, the Solartaxi team has created a stationary solar array to feed green power into the (global) electrical grid. <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/technology/energy-concept/">Solartaxi just extracts that greenly produced electrical energy from the grid while touring the world</a></span>. We should all support the installation of rooftop mounted PV solar to power our homes and our near-future plug-in electric vehicles.

Solartaxi has two Swiss made 14kwhr <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/technology/zebra-battery/">Zebra batteries</a></span> which are a <span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten_salt_battery">molten-salt type battery</a></span> that has an operating temperature window of 270-350degC (518-662degF). The battery is insulated in a thermos-style package to minimize heat loss and has a life of about 1000 charging cycles. Zebra batteries have an energy density of around 90Whr/kg. Solartaxi has one of these Zebra batteries in the car portion and a second is located along the axle of the photovoltaic solar panel trailer.  That gives a cummulative energy storage capacity of 28kWhrs. The Solartaxi electric drive motor powering the single rear wheel is rated at a peak of 13kW.  The Q-Cells PV solar modules produce upwards of 600 watts. To recharge the batteries solely from the rear trailer would take about 4 days.

After admiring and discussing the Solartaxi for almost an hour, Solartaxi Tour Director Louis Palmer gave a fantastic 40 minute PowerPoint presentation on his mission and adventures.   As of this summer's SoCal visit, Louis had traveled two thirds of his journey around the world. The presentation was followed by an enthusiastic EV technology discussion along with real test drives of the Solartaxi - viewable in the video below.

<em><strong>Friday November 14th, 2008 - GM Training Center - Burbank, CA</strong></em>

<strong><em> <span style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">The Honorable Nate Holden, former California State Senator and L.A. City Council Member, held a press conference demanding General Motors apologize to the American people for destroying the automaker's <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">EV1</a></span> plug-in electric vehicle.  Mr. Holden demanded the EV1's immediate re-introduction before, or in exchange for, any Government bailout of GM. </span></em></strong>

“General Motors compounded their financial woes by destroying the <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">EV1</a></span> and continued to work with the oil companies to gouge the public. It's a dishonest act on the part of General Motors.” said Holden.

This press conference was held at the very same GM facility where the <span><a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/saveev1.htm">EV1 Vigil</a></span> took place during February and March 2005. Loyal <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">GM EV1</a></span> customers tried valiantly to save 78 remaining EV1s from being <span><a href="http://www.evnut.com/ev1_crushed.htm">crushed</a></span>. Activists kept a 24/7 watch over the vehicles and offered to buy the EV1s from GM for their residual value. <span><a href="http://www.alexandrapaul.com/">Alexandra Paul</a></span> and <span><a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1665635/">Colette Divine</a></span> were arrested while peacefully protesting and making a stand against an EV1 filled GM transport semi attempting to exit the facility.   Chris Paine's film <span>"<a href="http://www.whokilledthelectricar.com">Who Killed the Electric Car ?</a>"</span> documented the <span><a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/saveev1.htm">EV1 Vigil</a></span>. Former EV1 drivers Doug Korthof and Chris Reeves attended and spoke at Holden's press conference, having each arrived in their respective plug-in EVs (<span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">2002 Toyota RAV4-EV</a></span> and <span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevy_S-10_EV">1997 GM Chevy S10 EV</a></span>).

Alex Datig (Business &amp; Public Affairs Consultant, <span><a href="http://www.highroadla.com/">HighRoad Consulting Group LLC</a></span>) let us know that Mr. Holden had a fruitful day getting the EV1 word out.  After the press conference at the GM Training Center Mr Holden went to City Hall to conduct more interviews and to speak to elected officials. He sent the story to <span><a href="http://www.kfwb.com/">KFWB News 980</a></span> and to President-elect Barack Obama.  Mr Holden had the following words for the loyal supporters of the EV1 :

"I want to thank the EV1 family for their support and encouragement for me to continue the fight to hold General Motors and other auto manufacturers' feet to the fire. As you know, today I strongly urge Congress to withhold any bailout funds from the auto industry, unless and until the industry agrees to mass-produce fuel efficiency automobiles; electric cars.

Congress should not, under any circumstances, release the bailout money to automobile manufacturers without making these demands. Without these demands, the automobile manufacturers will just continue with "business as usual," manufacturing gas-guzzlers, which would increase our dependency on the middle-east oil producing countries. This dependency must end now!

We are the advocates of the electric car family and must continue our fight to save the electric car. We must not allow Congress to backslide, or "bait and switch." At the very least, members of the electric car family demand that the conditions that were incorporated in the funding legislation of the  Billion loan package of September 2008 be adhered to.

I respectfully urge each member of the electric car family to contact Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of the United States Senate, Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and each of your local members of Congress, to let them know that any deviation on their part from the conditions of the loan approved in September will not be tolerated.

Lets keep the pressure on!"

Nate Holden
California State Senate, ret.
Los Angeles City Council, ret.

Hon. Nate Holden's next press conference on the EV1 will be held on Wednesday, November 19, 2008 at 10:00 AM at the <span><a href="http://www.laautoshow.com/">LA Auto Show</a></span> (<span><a href="http://www.lacclink.com/">LA Convention Center</a></span> - Pavilion adjacent to West Entrance).

The party was totally sold out: 250 guests and two superb electric vehicle rockstars - GM's newly released preproduction prototype <a href="http://www.chevrolet.com/electriccar/">Chevy Volt</a> and a silver <a href="http://www.teslamotors.com/">Tesla Roadster</a>. Due to parking limitations, valet parking was provided and guests were shuttled to the venue in several <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">Toyota RAV4-EVs</a> and a couple of very quick and spacious <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/acpropulsion/eBox/ebox_index.html">AC Propulsion eBoxes</a>. Chris Paine's film crew was in attendance filming the EVent.

But the speeches were the real highlight of the evening, delivered from a roof top overlooking the partygoers.  Host <a href="http://www.papercutfilms.com/about/#chris">Chris Paine</a> discussed his recent trip to Detroit for the pre-production GM Chevy Volt unveiling and describing how surreal it was to have the Chevy Volt parked in his backyard for this memorable party. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelsea_Sexton">Chelsea Sexton</a> followed with another eloquent summary of Plug In America's humble grassroots beginnings.   Plug In America's president <a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/about-us/our-team.html">Linda Nicholes</a> and board member <a href="http://www.alexandrapaul.com/">Alexandra Paul</a> gave a surprise thank you to two dedicated PIA volunteers. Renowned auto journalist <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/writers/dan-neil">Dan Neil</a> of the LA Times delivered a rave review of the GM Chevy Volt - and some of his trademark wit. And lastly, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Woolsey">James Woolsey</a> summarized the vital national security requirement for our nation to embrace, develop, and deploy plug-in electric vehicles.

The party also featured a silent auction for green and EV related items, including a <a href="http://www.duffyboats.com/">Duffy Electric Boat</a> rental, a <a href="http://www.zeromotorcycles.com/">2009 Zero X Electric Motorcycle</a>, and a beautiful blue <a href="http://www.vectrixusa.com/">2008 Vectrix Electric Maxi-Scooter</a> (from <a href="http://www.delamo-motorsports.com/">Delamo Motorsports</a> in Redondo Beach). <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/vectrix/ElectricMaxi-Scooter/2007.03.16VectrixDemo/VectrixDemo.html">Click here to see my Vectrix Electric Maxi-Scooter</a> coverage from March 2007.

One of our favorite guests from our shoot in Iceland, Bill Dube and his <a href="http://www.killacycle.com/">KillaCycle</a> Team, made headlines this past week in Colorado with a new EV world speed record.

On Thursday October 23rd, 2008, Team <a href="http://www.killacycle.com/">KillaCycle</a> set their latest drag racing world record at <a href="http://www.bandimere.com/">Bandimere Raceway</a>. Rider Scotty Pollacheck piloted the wickedly fast all electric <a href="http://www.a123systems.com/">A123Systems</a> NanoPhosphate battery powered motorcycle down the quarter mile in only 7.89 seconds, ending with a top speed of 168 MPH.

Scotty's run qualifies as a new official <a href="http://www.nedra.com/">NEDRA</a> (National Electric Drag Racing Association) record, vaulting the KillaCycle into the history books as the world's quickest quarter mile electric vehicle of any kind.

The KillaCycle's A123Systems battery pack is comprised of 1,210 type <a href="http://www.a123systems.com/#/products/p1">ANR26650M1</a> cells arranged to deliver 375 VDC. The motorcycle's Hi-Torque Electric motor was adjusted to draw 1850 amps for this particular run.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Electric car and renewable energy enthusiast <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/funkymotoman">Gerry Gaydos</a> shares his thoughts during a recent trip to California in the nicely narrated video short below.  Gerry's pursuit of renewable energy and electric drive began in the summer of 1997 when he spent time with some engineering students preparing a solar electric race car for the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Solar_Challenge">World Solar Challenge</a>.  His positive experiences led him on a search for an electric drive system that was both powerful and efficient for use in an electric sports car.  In January of 2001 he visited the legendary <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com">AC Propulsion</a> of San Dimas, CA to meet Alan Cocconi and test drive ACP's phenomenal <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/tzero/">tzero electric sports car</a>.  You'll see AC Propulsion's electric drive technology powering <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/acpropulsion/eBox/ebox_index.html">eBoxes</a>, the <a href="http://www.wrightspeed.com/">Wrightspeed X1</a>, <a href="http://www.teslamotors.com/">Tesla Roadsters</a>, and mention of <a href="http://www.mini-e.com">BMW's electric MINI E</a>.  Watch the video to learn more about Gerry's positive outlook for a renewable and electric future.

<p>Last week I was notified by <a href="http://www.cleanfuelconnection.com/">Clean Fuel Connection</a> (the company contracted by MINI to deploy the MINI E specific <a href="http://www.clippercreek.net/">Clipper Creek</a> charge stations) that they would be conducting an initial site inspection of my garage and electrical service to insure I could support a <a href="http://www.minispace.com/en_us/projects/electric-mini-e/">MINI E</a>, <b>ampicillin dilution</b>.  <b>Bla ampicillin</b>,   On Wednesday, March 11th, <b>ampicillin msds</b>, <b>Molecular weight of ampicillin</b>, 2009, at 1:30pm I met with a very friendly Paul Jette of Sunpower Electrical, <b>pharmacokinetics of ampicillin</b>, <b>Ampicillin spectrum</b>, the electrical contractor assigned to do the actual charge station install.  He inspected and took some photos of my 200Amp main electrical utility panel, <b>ampicillin contraindications</b>, <b>Binotal ampicillin</b>, and the garage space where the Clipper Creek MINI E charge station will be installed.  <b>Lb ampicillin</b>,  A couple of years ago I had upgraded my electrical distribution system when I self-installed a 4kW Photovoltaic system with the knowledge that plug-in EVs would soon be in my driving future. My electrical cleanup resulted in a very neat and sparsely populated main panel, <b>ampicillin uses</b>, <b>Ampicillin brand name</b>, as I offloaded all individual circuits to a couple of subpanels.  A majority of residences' main electrical utility panel is their only panel, <b>ampicillin satellite colonies</b>, <b>Ampicillin synthesis</b>, and many times it is completely stuffed with breakers and wiring, with no room for additional expansion, <b>ampicillin production</b>.  <b>Ampicillin tr 500 mg</b>,  This is a result many times of the initial builder trying to save a few $$ and installing a less expensive panel.  Generally, <b>ampicillin satellite colonies</b>, <b>Ampicillin sensitivity</b>, the cost of the electrical panel is "in the noise" (negligible), where the the majority of the cost of any electrical work is in the labor, <b>stability of ampicillin</b>.</p>

<p>Paul and I discussed the Clipper Creek charge station during his visit, <b>lb ampicillin</b>.  It is to be protected by a 60amp feed breaker installed at the main panel.  Paul confirmed the location I had already selected for mounting of the charge station to be ideal.  I learned I was Paul's 3rd MINI E initial site visit that day.  These were his very first visits in the MINI E deployment program.</p>
<p>While MINI is picking up the tab for any and all electrical work required to install the <a href="http://www.clippercreek.net/">Clipper Creek</a> <b>Lb ampicillin</b>, charge station, being an engineer  I have the desire to install a kilowatt-hour meter ahead of the charge station to log EV charging kW/hrs.  This self-imposed requirement means the charge station install by MINI at my house will be one of their simplest, as they just need to connect the charge station a few feet directly to the pre-installed and wired <a href="http://www.milbankmfg.com/">Milbank</a> kilowatt-hour meter box I'll already have in place.  I'm looking forward to a callback from Clean Fuel Connection once they are ready to send out the Clipper Creek charge station for installation.</p>

<p>Hasner’s electric car tax break gets boost</p>
<p>Posted by Josh Hafenbrack at 9:50 AM 2009.03.10</p>
<p>The Legislature is taking a step toward giving a Sunshine State boost to the next generation of automobiles: electric-powered cars, <b>ampicillin plate</b>.</p>
<p>An effort led by House Majority Leader Adam Hasner, <b>ampicillin msds</b>, <b>Ampicillin antibiotic resistance</b>, R-Boca Raton, to give a sales tax exemption to consumers who buy battery-powered, <b>ampicillin anhydrous</b>, <b>Ampicillin reconstitution</b>, electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids picked up a unanimous endorsement today.</p>
<p>The measure also would set aside 0, <b>sigma ampicillin</b>, <b>Kanamycin ampicillin</b>, 000 to provide incentives to build 100 charging stations throughout the state, since electric cars usually only last from 40 miles to 100 miles between charges, <b>lb broth ampicillin</b>.  <b>Ampicillin oral</b>, Today, electric vehicles and plug-in cars are a niche product, <b>uses for ampicillin</b>.  <b>Ampicillin brand name</b>, There are just 100 plug-ins on the road on Florida.  <b>Ampicillin plate</b>, But the electric car is coming – if a little slowly. The federal Energy Department has  billion to loan to companies to produce a new breed of electric cars, <b>ampicillin solubility</b>.  <b>Ampicillin history</b>, So far, none of the money has been doled out, <b>ampicillin administration</b>, <b>Binotal ampicillin</b>, but 75 companies, including three Detroit auto manufacturers, <b>ampicillin trade name</b>, <b>Ampicillin tr</b>, have submitted applications, according to the New York Times.</p>
<p>The federal stimulus bill also provides a ,500 tax credit for consumers who purchase plug-in vehicles.</p>
<p>One example is the much-publicized Chevy Volt, a plug-in hybrid due out in 2010 that ailing General Motors is staking its future on.  Ford is rolling out an electric four-door sedan in 2011 and Toyota plans to bring an electric car to showrooms in 2012, <b>ampicillin plate</b>.</p>
<p>“This is a chance for Florida to take the lead in the electric car movement,” Hasner said.</p>
<p>The electric car bill (HB879) would exempt sales of electric vehicles from the state’s 6-cent sales tax and provide a ,000 corporate tax credit to companies that have more than 10 electric or plug-in vehicles in their fleets.</p>
<p>In addition, consumers and businesses would be eligible for a ,000 rebate after converting a gasoline-powered vehicle to a plug-in.</p>
<p>As the House Energy and Utilities Committee gave its stamp of approval to the measure, Hasner is planning a showing of “Who Killed the Electric Car?” to legislators tonight at the Tallahassee IMAX theatre. During the fall campaign, Hasner drove a leased 2002 all-electric Toyota RAV-4 throughout his south Palm Beach-Broward county district — when gas was at its -a-gallon peak. “I drove by the gas station with a smile every single day, because I was using an electric car that didn’t use any gas,” he said.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Last Thursday, I flipped on the KTLA 5 news around 10:30pm, while grabbing a late dinner, and caught a <a href="http://www.fiskerautomotive.com/">Fisker Automotive</a> Karma ad...on TV!  I was caught completely and pleasantly by surprise seeing this great ad, as I don't think we've yet seen any other EV/PHEV specific ads from any of the smaller start-ups.

Justifying the cost of TV ads could be difficult, but has the positive effect of alerting the general population - most of which are not closely following the EV movement - to realize EVs/PHEVs are happening.

I was able to find the <a href="http://www.fiskerautomotive.com/">Fisker Automotive</a> Karma ad that ran during the KTLA pre-show
broadcast of the Academy Awards (2009.02.22), <strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJlhcBotQ7w&amp;fmt=18">archived on YouTube</a></strong> for those that have not yet seen it:

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[We have TWO reports from guest bloggers who attended the <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a> in the Wild EVent Thursday night at Smooth's Sports Grille in Long Beach, CA.  Also embedded below is a recent Aptera 2e demo ride video (with founder Steve Fambro) from the <a href="http://www.ted.com/">2009 TED conference</a> (held in Long Beach, CA) recently uploaded by Aptera forum member Josh.

<strong><em>Guest Blogger - Jenean Smith</em></strong>
It was a rainy night but I decided to jump in my car and see the new <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a> in person tonight in Long Beach. None of the usual suspects were there, (no one I recognized at least), which is a good sign that more and more people are interested in EVs. It's a very sleek car indeed and now with front wheel drive -- like something from a Doctor Who episode transported into the future and modernized for 2009.

<strong><em>Guest Blogger - Jim Hannigan</em></strong>
<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/20090205aptera-smooths.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1632 alignright" title="20090205aptera-smooths" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/20090205aptera-smooths.jpg" alt="20090205aptera-smooths" width="298" height="224" /></a>I went by Smooth's on my way home from work. The Aptera was parked in the restaurant's sidewalk seating area that in the winter is roofed over and enclosed with vinyl fabric. 25 or 30 people were there along with another eight or so Aptera employees as identified by their logo shirts. There was no organized presentation while I was there, but the vehicle could be touched, photographed (I only had a cellphone) and at least for a while some were allowed to sit in it.

I was not aware that this was the first time an Aptera had been shown in public. Several of those in attendance excitedly recited their reservation numbers.

I was told the car was a driveable pre-production unit and that some features would be changed. This one had the rear quarter windows and outside mirrors but not the opening door windows shown on the website. Aptera used it for VIP rides at the TED conference earlier in the day (supposedly including Tesla founder Martin Eberhard).

Questions on battery specifics, observed range, powertrain details etc. were all left TBA.

The vehicle is striking in appearance and was very well finished inside and out. The interior, controls and switches all seemed production grade. Exceptions were the A/C air vents which were complex and delicate looking plastic pieces that I was cautioned not to touch.

The car looks small but is dimensionally large; nearly 15 feet long and over 7 feet wide across the outboard front wheels. The aero tail is relatively high but the front looks very low. I was initially surprised at the small size of the manufacturer's license plate on the car until I remembered the Aptera is classed as a motorcycle. I would have liked to have seen the car on the street around other cars for perspective.

The car was powered up to the extent that the flat-panel dash, Nav displays, parking and brake lights worked. I was able to get a few seconds in the driver's seat. The seats were comfortable, but not deeply contoured. Footwells seemed wide, and head and legroom were good. Front visibility was very good, but not so to the rear : the side mirrors were tiny and the rear window presented a small aperture a long way back.

It is far too early for performance claims but Aptera will likely beat Tesla for eventful ingress/egress. I've owned a Lotus for years and got in and out without a problem, but I watched just about everyone else hit their heads either on the "butterfly" doors or on the doorframe or both.

Dear Aptera Family Member,

In our last newsletter we announced that Aptera would be giving 2e test drives to attendees of the TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) conference in Long Beach. We know most of you aren't attending this exclusive event, so when Smooth's, one of Long Beach's premier night spots and sports bars, offered us an opportunity to showcase the vehicle for the rest of our followers, we seized it.

Join us 6:00pm Thursday night, Feb. 5, at Smooth's to see the vehicle in person and meet other Aptera fans. We know that this is last-minute, but we want you to know about any opportunity to see the Aptera in a public setting.

When:  6pm to 9pm Thursday, February 5, 2009
Location:  Smooth's Sports Grille, 144 Pine Avenue, Long Beach, CA 90802

Thank you,

The Aptera Team - <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera Motors</a> 2009]]></content:encoded>

Regular readers of this blog will know all about Plug in America's triumphant Inaugural EV Parade West in Santa Monica, CA a few weeks back.   Now here's a chance to enjoy some video from the event.

A final count of 77 electric vehicles and over 250 people participated in the rally and subsequent parade. All types of electric vehicles drove quietly and emission free in formation for a few miles through city streets. Plug In America's dedicated volunteers worked their magic during the few weeks leading up to this latest EVent to organize a very successful and historic green parade. EV grins were everywhere and the enthusiasm for plug-ins couldn't have been greater. Plug In America's Inaugural EV Parade West rates as one of the best plug-in EVents to date.

Click play on the below 38 minute video of Plug In America's Inaugural EV Parade West to watch 26 minutes of rally speeches and experience the parade festivities.  Thanks to <a href="http://www.viddler.com">Viddler</a>'s great contextual timeline tagging feature, you can easily skip to any speaker or portion of the video without delay.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The talented <a href="http://www.myspace.com/kristenlreeves">Kristen Reeves</a> produced this wonderful video segment on <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com">AC Propulsion</a> and their world class electric vehicle drive technology.  For the past 3 years AC Propulsion has been converting gasoline Scion xBs to 100% electric drive with their phenomenal <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/tzero/index.php">AC150gen2 electric drive system</a>.  In her video, Kristen interviews AC Propulsion President &amp; CEO Tom Gage, and legendary actor/director and longtime EV enthusiast <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000158/">Tom Hanks</a>.  Mr. Hanks purchased the very first consumer <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/ebox/index.php">eBox</a> back in 2006 and uses it as his primary vehicle for all SoCal commuting.

Kristen writes:  "Imagine taking the car you drive now, and never having to stop at a gas station ever again. AC Propulsion, has been converting gas-fueled cars to electric for two decades.  This is a piece profiling AC Propulsion's car, the <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/ebox/index.php">eBox</a>, with a special interview with Tom Hanks who owns one of these cars.  Is this the way of the future?"

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Sacramento's <a href="http://www.news10.net/">News 10</a> reports on the electric cars of <a href="http://www.ci.vacaville.ca.us/">Vacaville, CA</a>.  In 2003 Vacaville, also known as <a href="http://www.fleetmag.com/print/Fleet-Maintenance/Welcome-to-Voltageville/109">Voltageville</a>, was miles ahead of other cities with over 100 electric cars on the road in both <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">GM EV1</a>s and <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">Toyota RAV4-EV</a>s.  The California Air Resources Board's <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2008.03.26PIArallyCARB/2008.03.26PIArallyCARB.html">1990 Zero Emissions Vehicle mandate</a> would have required 10% of all vehicles sold in California to be zero emissions.  But the <a href="http://www.arb.ca.gov">CARB</a> ZEV mandate was rescinded in 2003 due to pressure from the automakers.  It resulted in the confiscation of the majority of EVs which had only been available under lease.

In the <a href="http://www.news10.net/">News 10</a> segment <a href="http://www.evworld.com/article.cfm?storyid=152">Ed Huestis, Vacaville's Transportation Manager</a>, comments:  "Once you've driven an electric vehicle, you never want to go back to gasoline...you just don't."  Former GM EV1 owner Jerry Hobrecht and Toyota RAV4-EV owner <a href="http://www.evnut.com/">Darell Dickey</a> are also interviewed expressing their immense enthusiasm for electric drive.

Now, every major automaker is scrambling to produce an electric vehicle.  Watch the <a href="http://www.news10.net/video/default.aspx?playerId=newsmaker&amp;maven_playlistId=63762cfa11fe40643571b0d28136516c002a19f3&amp;maven_referrer=mrss&amp;maven_referralPlaylistId=63762cfa11fe40643571b0d28136516c002a19f3&amp;maven_referralObject=941648966">News 10 report</a> after the jump to learn why "No city is more ready for the return of the electric car than <a href="http://www.ci.vacaville.ca.us/">Vacaville, CA</a>."

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Electric car and renewable energy enthusiast <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/funkymotoman">Gerry Gaydos</a> shares his thoughts during a recent trip to California in the nicely narrated video short below.  Gerry's pursuit of renewable energy and electric drive began in the summer of 1997 when he spent time with some engineering students preparing a solar electric race car for the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Solar_Challenge">World Solar Challenge</a>.  His positive experiences led him on a search for an electric drive system that was both powerful and efficient for use in an electric sports car.  In January of 2001 he visited the legendary <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com">AC Propulsion</a> of San Dimas, CA to meet Alan Cocconi and test drive ACP's phenomenal <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/tzero/">tzero electric sports car</a>.  You'll see AC Propulsion's electric drive technology powering <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/acpropulsion/eBox/ebox_index.html">eBoxes</a>, the <a href="http://www.wrightspeed.com/">Wrightspeed X1</a>, <a href="http://www.teslamotors.com/">Tesla Roadsters</a>, and mention of <a href="http://www.mini-e.com">BMW's electric MINI E</a>.  Watch the video to learn more about Gerry's positive outlook for a renewable and electric future.

This summer Swiss visionary <span><a href="http://www.louispalmer.ch/">Louis Palmer</a></span> and his friendly team made several stops in Southern California on their global whirlwind tour with their spectacular <a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/">Solartaxi Electric Vehicle</a>.  One of the stops was at <a href="http://www.avinc.com/chargingsystems.asp">AeroVironment</a> in Simi Valley.

[caption id="attachment_621" align="alignleft" width="200" caption="Solartaxi parked at AeroVironment - Simi Valley, CA."]<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxiav_dsc_1841.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-621" title="solartaxiav_dsc_1841" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxiav_dsc_1841-200x200.jpg" alt="Solartaxi parked at AeroVironment - Simi Valley, CA." width="200" height="200" /></a>[/caption]

The Solartaxi is a realization of one of Louis' childhood dreams : to drive a zero emissions solar powered electric car around the world. He wants to show people that solutions already exist to resolve the Global Warming crisis.  <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/mission/">Click here to read Solartaxi's mission statement</a></span>.

[caption id="attachment_632" align="alignright" width="200" caption="Solartaxi&#39;s Louis Palmer with Paul Scott on a test drive."]<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-632" title="solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902-200x200.jpg" alt="Solartaxi's Louis Palmer with PIA's Paul Scott on a test drive." width="200" height="200" /></a>[/caption]

Towards this end, the Solartaxi is a promotional vehicle and not one that is suggested we all be driving. The <span><a href="http://www.q-cells.com/">Q-Cell solar panels</a></span> mounted on the trailer towed behind the Solartaxi provide 50% of the electricity required for the journey. They're mainly along for the ride to demonstrate that photovoltaic solar technology is real and available today. They also help to ensure the vehicle can keep traveling even in remote sections of the world should they fail to find a plug for recharging.  The other 50% of the electricity required for the journey is obtained by plugging into the electrical grid en route.  In Switzerland, the Solartaxi team has created a stationary solar array to feed green power into the (global) electrical grid. <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/technology/energy-concept/">Solartaxi just extracts that greenly produced electrical energy from the grid while touring the world</a></span>. We should all support the installation of rooftop mounted PV solar to power our homes and our near-future plug-in electric vehicles.

Solartaxi has two Swiss made 14kwhr <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/technology/zebra-battery/">Zebra batteries</a></span> which are a <span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten_salt_battery">molten-salt type battery</a></span> that has an operating temperature window of 270-350degC (518-662degF). The battery is insulated in a thermos-style package to minimize heat loss and has a life of about 1000 charging cycles. Zebra batteries have an energy density of around 90Whr/kg. Solartaxi has one of these Zebra batteries in the car portion and a second is located along the axle of the photovoltaic solar panel trailer.  That gives a cummulative energy storage capacity of 28kWhrs. The Solartaxi electric drive motor powering the single rear wheel is rated at a peak of 13kW.  The Q-Cells PV solar modules produce upwards of 600 watts. To recharge the batteries solely from the rear trailer would take about 4 days.

After admiring and discussing the Solartaxi for almost an hour, Solartaxi Tour Director Louis Palmer gave a fantastic 40 minute PowerPoint presentation on his mission and adventures.   As of this summer's SoCal visit, Louis had traveled two thirds of his journey around the world. The presentation was followed by an enthusiastic EV technology discussion along with real test drives of the Solartaxi - viewable in the video below.

<em><strong>Friday November 14th, 2008 - GM Training Center - Burbank, CA</strong></em>

<strong><em> <span style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">The Honorable Nate Holden, former California State Senator and L.A. City Council Member, held a press conference demanding General Motors apologize to the American people for destroying the automaker's <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">EV1</a></span> plug-in electric vehicle.  Mr. Holden demanded the EV1's immediate re-introduction before, or in exchange for, any Government bailout of GM. </span></em></strong>

“General Motors compounded their financial woes by destroying the <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">EV1</a></span> and continued to work with the oil companies to gouge the public. It's a dishonest act on the part of General Motors.” said Holden.

This press conference was held at the very same GM facility where the <span><a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/saveev1.htm">EV1 Vigil</a></span> took place during February and March 2005. Loyal <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">GM EV1</a></span> customers tried valiantly to save 78 remaining EV1s from being <span><a href="http://www.evnut.com/ev1_crushed.htm">crushed</a></span>. Activists kept a 24/7 watch over the vehicles and offered to buy the EV1s from GM for their residual value. <span><a href="http://www.alexandrapaul.com/">Alexandra Paul</a></span> and <span><a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1665635/">Colette Divine</a></span> were arrested while peacefully protesting and making a stand against an EV1 filled GM transport semi attempting to exit the facility.   Chris Paine's film <span>"<a href="http://www.whokilledthelectricar.com">Who Killed the Electric Car ?</a>"</span> documented the <span><a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/saveev1.htm">EV1 Vigil</a></span>. Former EV1 drivers Doug Korthof and Chris Reeves attended and spoke at Holden's press conference, having each arrived in their respective plug-in EVs (<span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">2002 Toyota RAV4-EV</a></span> and <span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevy_S-10_EV">1997 GM Chevy S10 EV</a></span>).

Alex Datig (Business &amp; Public Affairs Consultant, <span><a href="http://www.highroadla.com/">HighRoad Consulting Group LLC</a></span>) let us know that Mr. Holden had a fruitful day getting the EV1 word out.  After the press conference at the GM Training Center Mr Holden went to City Hall to conduct more interviews and to speak to elected officials. He sent the story to <span><a href="http://www.kfwb.com/">KFWB News 980</a></span> and to President-elect Barack Obama.  Mr Holden had the following words for the loyal supporters of the EV1 :

"I want to thank the EV1 family for their support and encouragement for me to continue the fight to hold General Motors and other auto manufacturers' feet to the fire. As you know, today I strongly urge Congress to withhold any bailout funds from the auto industry, unless and until the industry agrees to mass-produce fuel efficiency automobiles; electric cars.

Congress should not, under any circumstances, release the bailout money to automobile manufacturers without making these demands. Without these demands, the automobile manufacturers will just continue with "business as usual," manufacturing gas-guzzlers, which would increase our dependency on the middle-east oil producing countries. This dependency must end now!

We are the advocates of the electric car family and must continue our fight to save the electric car. We must not allow Congress to backslide, or "bait and switch." At the very least, members of the electric car family demand that the conditions that were incorporated in the funding legislation of the  Billion loan package of September 2008 be adhered to.

I respectfully urge each member of the electric car family to contact Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of the United States Senate, Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and each of your local members of Congress, to let them know that any deviation on their part from the conditions of the loan approved in September will not be tolerated.

Lets keep the pressure on!"

Nate Holden
California State Senate, ret.
Los Angeles City Council, ret.

Hon. Nate Holden's next press conference on the EV1 will be held on Wednesday, November 19, 2008 at 10:00 AM at the <span><a href="http://www.laautoshow.com/">LA Auto Show</a></span> (<span><a href="http://www.lacclink.com/">LA Convention Center</a></span> - Pavilion adjacent to West Entrance).

The party was totally sold out: 250 guests and two superb electric vehicle rockstars - GM's newly released preproduction prototype <a href="http://www.chevrolet.com/electriccar/">Chevy Volt</a> and a silver <a href="http://www.teslamotors.com/">Tesla Roadster</a>. Due to parking limitations, valet parking was provided and guests were shuttled to the venue in several <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">Toyota RAV4-EVs</a> and a couple of very quick and spacious <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/acpropulsion/eBox/ebox_index.html">AC Propulsion eBoxes</a>. Chris Paine's film crew was in attendance filming the EVent.

But the speeches were the real highlight of the evening, delivered from a roof top overlooking the partygoers.  Host <a href="http://www.papercutfilms.com/about/#chris">Chris Paine</a> discussed his recent trip to Detroit for the pre-production GM Chevy Volt unveiling and describing how surreal it was to have the Chevy Volt parked in his backyard for this memorable party. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelsea_Sexton">Chelsea Sexton</a> followed with another eloquent summary of Plug In America's humble grassroots beginnings.   Plug In America's president <a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/about-us/our-team.html">Linda Nicholes</a> and board member <a href="http://www.alexandrapaul.com/">Alexandra Paul</a> gave a surprise thank you to two dedicated PIA volunteers. Renowned auto journalist <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/writers/dan-neil">Dan Neil</a> of the LA Times delivered a rave review of the GM Chevy Volt - and some of his trademark wit. And lastly, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Woolsey">James Woolsey</a> summarized the vital national security requirement for our nation to embrace, develop, and deploy plug-in electric vehicles.

The party also featured a silent auction for green and EV related items, including a <a href="http://www.duffyboats.com/">Duffy Electric Boat</a> rental, a <a href="http://www.zeromotorcycles.com/">2009 Zero X Electric Motorcycle</a>, and a beautiful blue <a href="http://www.vectrixusa.com/">2008 Vectrix Electric Maxi-Scooter</a> (from <a href="http://www.delamo-motorsports.com/">Delamo Motorsports</a> in Redondo Beach). <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/vectrix/ElectricMaxi-Scooter/2007.03.16VectrixDemo/VectrixDemo.html">Click here to see my Vectrix Electric Maxi-Scooter</a> coverage from March 2007.

One of our favorite guests from our shoot in Iceland, Bill Dube and his <a href="http://www.killacycle.com/">KillaCycle</a> Team, made headlines this past week in Colorado with a new EV world speed record.

On Thursday October 23rd, 2008, Team <a href="http://www.killacycle.com/">KillaCycle</a> set their latest drag racing world record at <a href="http://www.bandimere.com/">Bandimere Raceway</a>. Rider Scotty Pollacheck piloted the wickedly fast all electric <a href="http://www.a123systems.com/">A123Systems</a> NanoPhosphate battery powered motorcycle down the quarter mile in only 7.89 seconds, ending with a top speed of 168 MPH.

Scotty's run qualifies as a new official <a href="http://www.nedra.com/">NEDRA</a> (National Electric Drag Racing Association) record, vaulting the KillaCycle into the history books as the world's quickest quarter mile electric vehicle of any kind.

The KillaCycle's A123Systems battery pack is comprised of 1,210 type <a href="http://www.a123systems.com/#/products/p1">ANR26650M1</a> cells arranged to deliver 375 VDC. The motorcycle's Hi-Torque Electric motor was adjusted to draw 1850 amps for this particular run.

<p>Last week I was notified by <a href="http://www.cleanfuelconnection.com/">Clean Fuel Connection</a> (the company contracted by MINI to deploy the MINI E specific <a href="http://www.clippercreek.net/">Clipper Creek</a> charge stations) that they would be conducting an initial site inspection of my garage and electrical service to insure I could support a <a href="http://www.minispace.com/en_us/projects/electric-mini-e/">MINI E</a>, <b>ampicillin dilution</b>.  <b>Bla ampicillin</b>,   On Wednesday, March 11th, <b>ampicillin msds</b>, <b>Molecular weight of ampicillin</b>, 2009, at 1:30pm I met with a very friendly Paul Jette of Sunpower Electrical, <b>pharmacokinetics of ampicillin</b>, <b>Ampicillin spectrum</b>, the electrical contractor assigned to do the actual charge station install.  He inspected and took some photos of my 200Amp main electrical utility panel, <b>ampicillin contraindications</b>, <b>Binotal ampicillin</b>, and the garage space where the Clipper Creek MINI E charge station will be installed.  <b>Lb ampicillin</b>,  A couple of years ago I had upgraded my electrical distribution system when I self-installed a 4kW Photovoltaic system with the knowledge that plug-in EVs would soon be in my driving future. My electrical cleanup resulted in a very neat and sparsely populated main panel, <b>ampicillin uses</b>, <b>Ampicillin brand name</b>, as I offloaded all individual circuits to a couple of subpanels.  A majority of residences' main electrical utility panel is their only panel, <b>ampicillin satellite colonies</b>, <b>Ampicillin synthesis</b>, and many times it is completely stuffed with breakers and wiring, with no room for additional expansion, <b>ampicillin production</b>.  <b>Ampicillin tr 500 mg</b>,  This is a result many times of the initial builder trying to save a few $$ and installing a less expensive panel.  Generally, <b>ampicillin satellite colonies</b>, <b>Ampicillin sensitivity</b>, the cost of the electrical panel is "in the noise" (negligible), where the the majority of the cost of any electrical work is in the labor, <b>stability of ampicillin</b>.</p>

<p>Paul and I discussed the Clipper Creek charge station during his visit, <b>lb ampicillin</b>.  It is to be protected by a 60amp feed breaker installed at the main panel.  Paul confirmed the location I had already selected for mounting of the charge station to be ideal.  I learned I was Paul's 3rd MINI E initial site visit that day.  These were his very first visits in the MINI E deployment program.</p>
<p>While MINI is picking up the tab for any and all electrical work required to install the <a href="http://www.clippercreek.net/">Clipper Creek</a> <b>Lb ampicillin</b>, charge station, being an engineer  I have the desire to install a kilowatt-hour meter ahead of the charge station to log EV charging kW/hrs.  This self-imposed requirement means the charge station install by MINI at my house will be one of their simplest, as they just need to connect the charge station a few feet directly to the pre-installed and wired <a href="http://www.milbankmfg.com/">Milbank</a> kilowatt-hour meter box I'll already have in place.  I'm looking forward to a callback from Clean Fuel Connection once they are ready to send out the Clipper Creek charge station for installation.</p>

<p>Hasner’s electric car tax break gets boost</p>
<p>Posted by Josh Hafenbrack at 9:50 AM 2009.03.10</p>
<p>The Legislature is taking a step toward giving a Sunshine State boost to the next generation of automobiles: electric-powered cars, <b>ampicillin plate</b>.</p>
<p>An effort led by House Majority Leader Adam Hasner, <b>ampicillin msds</b>, <b>Ampicillin antibiotic resistance</b>, R-Boca Raton, to give a sales tax exemption to consumers who buy battery-powered, <b>ampicillin anhydrous</b>, <b>Ampicillin reconstitution</b>, electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids picked up a unanimous endorsement today.</p>
<p>The measure also would set aside 0, <b>sigma ampicillin</b>, <b>Kanamycin ampicillin</b>, 000 to provide incentives to build 100 charging stations throughout the state, since electric cars usually only last from 40 miles to 100 miles between charges, <b>lb broth ampicillin</b>.  <b>Ampicillin oral</b>, Today, electric vehicles and plug-in cars are a niche product, <b>uses for ampicillin</b>.  <b>Ampicillin brand name</b>, There are just 100 plug-ins on the road on Florida.  <b>Ampicillin plate</b>, But the electric car is coming – if a little slowly. The federal Energy Department has  billion to loan to companies to produce a new breed of electric cars, <b>ampicillin solubility</b>.  <b>Ampicillin history</b>, So far, none of the money has been doled out, <b>ampicillin administration</b>, <b>Binotal ampicillin</b>, but 75 companies, including three Detroit auto manufacturers, <b>ampicillin trade name</b>, <b>Ampicillin tr</b>, have submitted applications, according to the New York Times.</p>
<p>The federal stimulus bill also provides a ,500 tax credit for consumers who purchase plug-in vehicles.</p>
<p>One example is the much-publicized Chevy Volt, a plug-in hybrid due out in 2010 that ailing General Motors is staking its future on.  Ford is rolling out an electric four-door sedan in 2011 and Toyota plans to bring an electric car to showrooms in 2012, <b>ampicillin plate</b>.</p>
<p>“This is a chance for Florida to take the lead in the electric car movement,” Hasner said.</p>
<p>The electric car bill (HB879) would exempt sales of electric vehicles from the state’s 6-cent sales tax and provide a ,000 corporate tax credit to companies that have more than 10 electric or plug-in vehicles in their fleets.</p>
<p>In addition, consumers and businesses would be eligible for a ,000 rebate after converting a gasoline-powered vehicle to a plug-in.</p>
<p>As the House Energy and Utilities Committee gave its stamp of approval to the measure, Hasner is planning a showing of “Who Killed the Electric Car?” to legislators tonight at the Tallahassee IMAX theatre. During the fall campaign, Hasner drove a leased 2002 all-electric Toyota RAV-4 throughout his south Palm Beach-Broward county district — when gas was at its -a-gallon peak. “I drove by the gas station with a smile every single day, because I was using an electric car that didn’t use any gas,” he said.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Last Thursday, I flipped on the KTLA 5 news around 10:30pm, while grabbing a late dinner, and caught a <a href="http://www.fiskerautomotive.com/">Fisker Automotive</a> Karma ad...on TV!  I was caught completely and pleasantly by surprise seeing this great ad, as I don't think we've yet seen any other EV/PHEV specific ads from any of the smaller start-ups.

Justifying the cost of TV ads could be difficult, but has the positive effect of alerting the general population - most of which are not closely following the EV movement - to realize EVs/PHEVs are happening.

I was able to find the <a href="http://www.fiskerautomotive.com/">Fisker Automotive</a> Karma ad that ran during the KTLA pre-show
broadcast of the Academy Awards (2009.02.22), <strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJlhcBotQ7w&amp;fmt=18">archived on YouTube</a></strong> for those that have not yet seen it:

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[We have TWO reports from guest bloggers who attended the <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a> in the Wild EVent Thursday night at Smooth's Sports Grille in Long Beach, CA.  Also embedded below is a recent Aptera 2e demo ride video (with founder Steve Fambro) from the <a href="http://www.ted.com/">2009 TED conference</a> (held in Long Beach, CA) recently uploaded by Aptera forum member Josh.

<strong><em>Guest Blogger - Jenean Smith</em></strong>
It was a rainy night but I decided to jump in my car and see the new <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a> in person tonight in Long Beach. None of the usual suspects were there, (no one I recognized at least), which is a good sign that more and more people are interested in EVs. It's a very sleek car indeed and now with front wheel drive -- like something from a Doctor Who episode transported into the future and modernized for 2009.

<strong><em>Guest Blogger - Jim Hannigan</em></strong>
<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/20090205aptera-smooths.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1632 alignright" title="20090205aptera-smooths" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/20090205aptera-smooths.jpg" alt="20090205aptera-smooths" width="298" height="224" /></a>I went by Smooth's on my way home from work. The Aptera was parked in the restaurant's sidewalk seating area that in the winter is roofed over and enclosed with vinyl fabric. 25 or 30 people were there along with another eight or so Aptera employees as identified by their logo shirts. There was no organized presentation while I was there, but the vehicle could be touched, photographed (I only had a cellphone) and at least for a while some were allowed to sit in it.

I was not aware that this was the first time an Aptera had been shown in public. Several of those in attendance excitedly recited their reservation numbers.

I was told the car was a driveable pre-production unit and that some features would be changed. This one had the rear quarter windows and outside mirrors but not the opening door windows shown on the website. Aptera used it for VIP rides at the TED conference earlier in the day (supposedly including Tesla founder Martin Eberhard).

Questions on battery specifics, observed range, powertrain details etc. were all left TBA.

The vehicle is striking in appearance and was very well finished inside and out. The interior, controls and switches all seemed production grade. Exceptions were the A/C air vents which were complex and delicate looking plastic pieces that I was cautioned not to touch.

The car looks small but is dimensionally large; nearly 15 feet long and over 7 feet wide across the outboard front wheels. The aero tail is relatively high but the front looks very low. I was initially surprised at the small size of the manufacturer's license plate on the car until I remembered the Aptera is classed as a motorcycle. I would have liked to have seen the car on the street around other cars for perspective.

The car was powered up to the extent that the flat-panel dash, Nav displays, parking and brake lights worked. I was able to get a few seconds in the driver's seat. The seats were comfortable, but not deeply contoured. Footwells seemed wide, and head and legroom were good. Front visibility was very good, but not so to the rear : the side mirrors were tiny and the rear window presented a small aperture a long way back.

It is far too early for performance claims but Aptera will likely beat Tesla for eventful ingress/egress. I've owned a Lotus for years and got in and out without a problem, but I watched just about everyone else hit their heads either on the "butterfly" doors or on the doorframe or both.

Dear Aptera Family Member,

In our last newsletter we announced that Aptera would be giving 2e test drives to attendees of the TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) conference in Long Beach. We know most of you aren't attending this exclusive event, so when Smooth's, one of Long Beach's premier night spots and sports bars, offered us an opportunity to showcase the vehicle for the rest of our followers, we seized it.

Join us 6:00pm Thursday night, Feb. 5, at Smooth's to see the vehicle in person and meet other Aptera fans. We know that this is last-minute, but we want you to know about any opportunity to see the Aptera in a public setting.

When:  6pm to 9pm Thursday, February 5, 2009
Location:  Smooth's Sports Grille, 144 Pine Avenue, Long Beach, CA 90802

Thank you,

The Aptera Team - <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera Motors</a> 2009]]></content:encoded>

Regular readers of this blog will know all about Plug in America's triumphant Inaugural EV Parade West in Santa Monica, CA a few weeks back.   Now here's a chance to enjoy some video from the event.

A final count of 77 electric vehicles and over 250 people participated in the rally and subsequent parade. All types of electric vehicles drove quietly and emission free in formation for a few miles through city streets. Plug In America's dedicated volunteers worked their magic during the few weeks leading up to this latest EVent to organize a very successful and historic green parade. EV grins were everywhere and the enthusiasm for plug-ins couldn't have been greater. Plug In America's Inaugural EV Parade West rates as one of the best plug-in EVents to date.

Click play on the below 38 minute video of Plug In America's Inaugural EV Parade West to watch 26 minutes of rally speeches and experience the parade festivities.  Thanks to <a href="http://www.viddler.com">Viddler</a>'s great contextual timeline tagging feature, you can easily skip to any speaker or portion of the video without delay.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The talented <a href="http://www.myspace.com/kristenlreeves">Kristen Reeves</a> produced this wonderful video segment on <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com">AC Propulsion</a> and their world class electric vehicle drive technology.  For the past 3 years AC Propulsion has been converting gasoline Scion xBs to 100% electric drive with their phenomenal <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/tzero/index.php">AC150gen2 electric drive system</a>.  In her video, Kristen interviews AC Propulsion President &amp; CEO Tom Gage, and legendary actor/director and longtime EV enthusiast <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000158/">Tom Hanks</a>.  Mr. Hanks purchased the very first consumer <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/ebox/index.php">eBox</a> back in 2006 and uses it as his primary vehicle for all SoCal commuting.

Kristen writes:  "Imagine taking the car you drive now, and never having to stop at a gas station ever again. AC Propulsion, has been converting gas-fueled cars to electric for two decades.  This is a piece profiling AC Propulsion's car, the <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/ebox/index.php">eBox</a>, with a special interview with Tom Hanks who owns one of these cars.  Is this the way of the future?"

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Sacramento's <a href="http://www.news10.net/">News 10</a> reports on the electric cars of <a href="http://www.ci.vacaville.ca.us/">Vacaville, CA</a>.  In 2003 Vacaville, also known as <a href="http://www.fleetmag.com/print/Fleet-Maintenance/Welcome-to-Voltageville/109">Voltageville</a>, was miles ahead of other cities with over 100 electric cars on the road in both <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">GM EV1</a>s and <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">Toyota RAV4-EV</a>s.  The California Air Resources Board's <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2008.03.26PIArallyCARB/2008.03.26PIArallyCARB.html">1990 Zero Emissions Vehicle mandate</a> would have required 10% of all vehicles sold in California to be zero emissions.  But the <a href="http://www.arb.ca.gov">CARB</a> ZEV mandate was rescinded in 2003 due to pressure from the automakers.  It resulted in the confiscation of the majority of EVs which had only been available under lease.

In the <a href="http://www.news10.net/">News 10</a> segment <a href="http://www.evworld.com/article.cfm?storyid=152">Ed Huestis, Vacaville's Transportation Manager</a>, comments:  "Once you've driven an electric vehicle, you never want to go back to gasoline...you just don't."  Former GM EV1 owner Jerry Hobrecht and Toyota RAV4-EV owner <a href="http://www.evnut.com/">Darell Dickey</a> are also interviewed expressing their immense enthusiasm for electric drive.

Now, every major automaker is scrambling to produce an electric vehicle.  Watch the <a href="http://www.news10.net/video/default.aspx?playerId=newsmaker&amp;maven_playlistId=63762cfa11fe40643571b0d28136516c002a19f3&amp;maven_referrer=mrss&amp;maven_referralPlaylistId=63762cfa11fe40643571b0d28136516c002a19f3&amp;maven_referralObject=941648966">News 10 report</a> after the jump to learn why "No city is more ready for the return of the electric car than <a href="http://www.ci.vacaville.ca.us/">Vacaville, CA</a>."

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Electric car and renewable energy enthusiast <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/funkymotoman">Gerry Gaydos</a> shares his thoughts during a recent trip to California in the nicely narrated video short below.  Gerry's pursuit of renewable energy and electric drive began in the summer of 1997 when he spent time with some engineering students preparing a solar electric race car for the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Solar_Challenge">World Solar Challenge</a>.  His positive experiences led him on a search for an electric drive system that was both powerful and efficient for use in an electric sports car.  In January of 2001 he visited the legendary <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com">AC Propulsion</a> of San Dimas, CA to meet Alan Cocconi and test drive ACP's phenomenal <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/tzero/">tzero electric sports car</a>.  You'll see AC Propulsion's electric drive technology powering <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/acpropulsion/eBox/ebox_index.html">eBoxes</a>, the <a href="http://www.wrightspeed.com/">Wrightspeed X1</a>, <a href="http://www.teslamotors.com/">Tesla Roadsters</a>, and mention of <a href="http://www.mini-e.com">BMW's electric MINI E</a>.  Watch the video to learn more about Gerry's positive outlook for a renewable and electric future.

This summer Swiss visionary <span><a href="http://www.louispalmer.ch/">Louis Palmer</a></span> and his friendly team made several stops in Southern California on their global whirlwind tour with their spectacular <a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/">Solartaxi Electric Vehicle</a>.  One of the stops was at <a href="http://www.avinc.com/chargingsystems.asp">AeroVironment</a> in Simi Valley.

[caption id="attachment_621" align="alignleft" width="200" caption="Solartaxi parked at AeroVironment - Simi Valley, CA."]<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxiav_dsc_1841.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-621" title="solartaxiav_dsc_1841" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxiav_dsc_1841-200x200.jpg" alt="Solartaxi parked at AeroVironment - Simi Valley, CA." width="200" height="200" /></a>[/caption]

The Solartaxi is a realization of one of Louis' childhood dreams : to drive a zero emissions solar powered electric car around the world. He wants to show people that solutions already exist to resolve the Global Warming crisis.  <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/mission/">Click here to read Solartaxi's mission statement</a></span>.

[caption id="attachment_632" align="alignright" width="200" caption="Solartaxi&#39;s Louis Palmer with Paul Scott on a test drive."]<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-632" title="solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902-200x200.jpg" alt="Solartaxi's Louis Palmer with PIA's Paul Scott on a test drive." width="200" height="200" /></a>[/caption]

Towards this end, the Solartaxi is a promotional vehicle and not one that is suggested we all be driving. The <span><a href="http://www.q-cells.com/">Q-Cell solar panels</a></span> mounted on the trailer towed behind the Solartaxi provide 50% of the electricity required for the journey. They're mainly along for the ride to demonstrate that photovoltaic solar technology is real and available today. They also help to ensure the vehicle can keep traveling even in remote sections of the world should they fail to find a plug for recharging.  The other 50% of the electricity required for the journey is obtained by plugging into the electrical grid en route.  In Switzerland, the Solartaxi team has created a stationary solar array to feed green power into the (global) electrical grid. <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/technology/energy-concept/">Solartaxi just extracts that greenly produced electrical energy from the grid while touring the world</a></span>. We should all support the installation of rooftop mounted PV solar to power our homes and our near-future plug-in electric vehicles.

Solartaxi has two Swiss made 14kwhr <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/technology/zebra-battery/">Zebra batteries</a></span> which are a <span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten_salt_battery">molten-salt type battery</a></span> that has an operating temperature window of 270-350degC (518-662degF). The battery is insulated in a thermos-style package to minimize heat loss and has a life of about 1000 charging cycles. Zebra batteries have an energy density of around 90Whr/kg. Solartaxi has one of these Zebra batteries in the car portion and a second is located along the axle of the photovoltaic solar panel trailer.  That gives a cummulative energy storage capacity of 28kWhrs. The Solartaxi electric drive motor powering the single rear wheel is rated at a peak of 13kW.  The Q-Cells PV solar modules produce upwards of 600 watts. To recharge the batteries solely from the rear trailer would take about 4 days.

After admiring and discussing the Solartaxi for almost an hour, Solartaxi Tour Director Louis Palmer gave a fantastic 40 minute PowerPoint presentation on his mission and adventures.   As of this summer's SoCal visit, Louis had traveled two thirds of his journey around the world. The presentation was followed by an enthusiastic EV technology discussion along with real test drives of the Solartaxi - viewable in the video below.

<em><strong>Friday November 14th, 2008 - GM Training Center - Burbank, CA</strong></em>

<strong><em> <span style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">The Honorable Nate Holden, former California State Senator and L.A. City Council Member, held a press conference demanding General Motors apologize to the American people for destroying the automaker's <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">EV1</a></span> plug-in electric vehicle.  Mr. Holden demanded the EV1's immediate re-introduction before, or in exchange for, any Government bailout of GM. </span></em></strong>

“General Motors compounded their financial woes by destroying the <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">EV1</a></span> and continued to work with the oil companies to gouge the public. It's a dishonest act on the part of General Motors.” said Holden.

This press conference was held at the very same GM facility where the <span><a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/saveev1.htm">EV1 Vigil</a></span> took place during February and March 2005. Loyal <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">GM EV1</a></span> customers tried valiantly to save 78 remaining EV1s from being <span><a href="http://www.evnut.com/ev1_crushed.htm">crushed</a></span>. Activists kept a 24/7 watch over the vehicles and offered to buy the EV1s from GM for their residual value. <span><a href="http://www.alexandrapaul.com/">Alexandra Paul</a></span> and <span><a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1665635/">Colette Divine</a></span> were arrested while peacefully protesting and making a stand against an EV1 filled GM transport semi attempting to exit the facility.   Chris Paine's film <span>"<a href="http://www.whokilledthelectricar.com">Who Killed the Electric Car ?</a>"</span> documented the <span><a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/saveev1.htm">EV1 Vigil</a></span>. Former EV1 drivers Doug Korthof and Chris Reeves attended and spoke at Holden's press conference, having each arrived in their respective plug-in EVs (<span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">2002 Toyota RAV4-EV</a></span> and <span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevy_S-10_EV">1997 GM Chevy S10 EV</a></span>).

Alex Datig (Business &amp; Public Affairs Consultant, <span><a href="http://www.highroadla.com/">HighRoad Consulting Group LLC</a></span>) let us know that Mr. Holden had a fruitful day getting the EV1 word out.  After the press conference at the GM Training Center Mr Holden went to City Hall to conduct more interviews and to speak to elected officials. He sent the story to <span><a href="http://www.kfwb.com/">KFWB News 980</a></span> and to President-elect Barack Obama.  Mr Holden had the following words for the loyal supporters of the EV1 :

"I want to thank the EV1 family for their support and encouragement for me to continue the fight to hold General Motors and other auto manufacturers' feet to the fire. As you know, today I strongly urge Congress to withhold any bailout funds from the auto industry, unless and until the industry agrees to mass-produce fuel efficiency automobiles; electric cars.

Congress should not, under any circumstances, release the bailout money to automobile manufacturers without making these demands. Without these demands, the automobile manufacturers will just continue with "business as usual," manufacturing gas-guzzlers, which would increase our dependency on the middle-east oil producing countries. This dependency must end now!

We are the advocates of the electric car family and must continue our fight to save the electric car. We must not allow Congress to backslide, or "bait and switch." At the very least, members of the electric car family demand that the conditions that were incorporated in the funding legislation of the  Billion loan package of September 2008 be adhered to.

I respectfully urge each member of the electric car family to contact Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of the United States Senate, Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and each of your local members of Congress, to let them know that any deviation on their part from the conditions of the loan approved in September will not be tolerated.

Lets keep the pressure on!"

Nate Holden
California State Senate, ret.
Los Angeles City Council, ret.

Hon. Nate Holden's next press conference on the EV1 will be held on Wednesday, November 19, 2008 at 10:00 AM at the <span><a href="http://www.laautoshow.com/">LA Auto Show</a></span> (<span><a href="http://www.lacclink.com/">LA Convention Center</a></span> - Pavilion adjacent to West Entrance).

The party was totally sold out: 250 guests and two superb electric vehicle rockstars - GM's newly released preproduction prototype <a href="http://www.chevrolet.com/electriccar/">Chevy Volt</a> and a silver <a href="http://www.teslamotors.com/">Tesla Roadster</a>. Due to parking limitations, valet parking was provided and guests were shuttled to the venue in several <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">Toyota RAV4-EVs</a> and a couple of very quick and spacious <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/acpropulsion/eBox/ebox_index.html">AC Propulsion eBoxes</a>. Chris Paine's film crew was in attendance filming the EVent.

But the speeches were the real highlight of the evening, delivered from a roof top overlooking the partygoers.  Host <a href="http://www.papercutfilms.com/about/#chris">Chris Paine</a> discussed his recent trip to Detroit for the pre-production GM Chevy Volt unveiling and describing how surreal it was to have the Chevy Volt parked in his backyard for this memorable party. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelsea_Sexton">Chelsea Sexton</a> followed with another eloquent summary of Plug In America's humble grassroots beginnings.   Plug In America's president <a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/about-us/our-team.html">Linda Nicholes</a> and board member <a href="http://www.alexandrapaul.com/">Alexandra Paul</a> gave a surprise thank you to two dedicated PIA volunteers. Renowned auto journalist <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/writers/dan-neil">Dan Neil</a> of the LA Times delivered a rave review of the GM Chevy Volt - and some of his trademark wit. And lastly, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Woolsey">James Woolsey</a> summarized the vital national security requirement for our nation to embrace, develop, and deploy plug-in electric vehicles.

The party also featured a silent auction for green and EV related items, including a <a href="http://www.duffyboats.com/">Duffy Electric Boat</a> rental, a <a href="http://www.zeromotorcycles.com/">2009 Zero X Electric Motorcycle</a>, and a beautiful blue <a href="http://www.vectrixusa.com/">2008 Vectrix Electric Maxi-Scooter</a> (from <a href="http://www.delamo-motorsports.com/">Delamo Motorsports</a> in Redondo Beach). <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/vectrix/ElectricMaxi-Scooter/2007.03.16VectrixDemo/VectrixDemo.html">Click here to see my Vectrix Electric Maxi-Scooter</a> coverage from March 2007.

One of our favorite guests from our shoot in Iceland, Bill Dube and his <a href="http://www.killacycle.com/">KillaCycle</a> Team, made headlines this past week in Colorado with a new EV world speed record.

On Thursday October 23rd, 2008, Team <a href="http://www.killacycle.com/">KillaCycle</a> set their latest drag racing world record at <a href="http://www.bandimere.com/">Bandimere Raceway</a>. Rider Scotty Pollacheck piloted the wickedly fast all electric <a href="http://www.a123systems.com/">A123Systems</a> NanoPhosphate battery powered motorcycle down the quarter mile in only 7.89 seconds, ending with a top speed of 168 MPH.

Scotty's run qualifies as a new official <a href="http://www.nedra.com/">NEDRA</a> (National Electric Drag Racing Association) record, vaulting the KillaCycle into the history books as the world's quickest quarter mile electric vehicle of any kind.

The KillaCycle's A123Systems battery pack is comprised of 1,210 type <a href="http://www.a123systems.com/#/products/p1">ANR26650M1</a> cells arranged to deliver 375 VDC. The motorcycle's Hi-Torque Electric motor was adjusted to draw 1850 amps for this particular run.

<p>Last week I was notified by <a href="http://www.cleanfuelconnection.com/">Clean Fuel Connection</a> (the company contracted by MINI to deploy the MINI E specific <a href="http://www.clippercreek.net/">Clipper Creek</a> charge stations) that they would be conducting an initial site inspection of my garage and electrical service to insure I could support a <a href="http://www.minispace.com/en_us/projects/electric-mini-e/">MINI E</a>, <b>ampicillin dilution</b>.  <b>Bla ampicillin</b>,   On Wednesday, March 11th, <b>ampicillin msds</b>, <b>Molecular weight of ampicillin</b>, 2009, at 1:30pm I met with a very friendly Paul Jette of Sunpower Electrical, <b>pharmacokinetics of ampicillin</b>, <b>Ampicillin spectrum</b>, the electrical contractor assigned to do the actual charge station install.  He inspected and took some photos of my 200Amp main electrical utility panel, <b>ampicillin contraindications</b>, <b>Binotal ampicillin</b>, and the garage space where the Clipper Creek MINI E charge station will be installed.  <b>Lb ampicillin</b>,  A couple of years ago I had upgraded my electrical distribution system when I self-installed a 4kW Photovoltaic system with the knowledge that plug-in EVs would soon be in my driving future. My electrical cleanup resulted in a very neat and sparsely populated main panel, <b>ampicillin uses</b>, <b>Ampicillin brand name</b>, as I offloaded all individual circuits to a couple of subpanels.  A majority of residences' main electrical utility panel is their only panel, <b>ampicillin satellite colonies</b>, <b>Ampicillin synthesis</b>, and many times it is completely stuffed with breakers and wiring, with no room for additional expansion, <b>ampicillin production</b>.  <b>Ampicillin tr 500 mg</b>,  This is a result many times of the initial builder trying to save a few $$ and installing a less expensive panel.  Generally, <b>ampicillin satellite colonies</b>, <b>Ampicillin sensitivity</b>, the cost of the electrical panel is "in the noise" (negligible), where the the majority of the cost of any electrical work is in the labor, <b>stability of ampicillin</b>.</p>

<p>Paul and I discussed the Clipper Creek charge station during his visit, <b>lb ampicillin</b>.  It is to be protected by a 60amp feed breaker installed at the main panel.  Paul confirmed the location I had already selected for mounting of the charge station to be ideal.  I learned I was Paul's 3rd MINI E initial site visit that day.  These were his very first visits in the MINI E deployment program.</p>
<p>While MINI is picking up the tab for any and all electrical work required to install the <a href="http://www.clippercreek.net/">Clipper Creek</a> <b>Lb ampicillin</b>, charge station, being an engineer  I have the desire to install a kilowatt-hour meter ahead of the charge station to log EV charging kW/hrs.  This self-imposed requirement means the charge station install by MINI at my house will be one of their simplest, as they just need to connect the charge station a few feet directly to the pre-installed and wired <a href="http://www.milbankmfg.com/">Milbank</a> kilowatt-hour meter box I'll already have in place.  I'm looking forward to a callback from Clean Fuel Connection once they are ready to send out the Clipper Creek charge station for installation.</p>

<p>Hasner’s electric car tax break gets boost</p>
<p>Posted by Josh Hafenbrack at 9:50 AM 2009.03.10</p>
<p>The Legislature is taking a step toward giving a Sunshine State boost to the next generation of automobiles: electric-powered cars, <b>ampicillin plate</b>.</p>
<p>An effort led by House Majority Leader Adam Hasner, <b>ampicillin msds</b>, <b>Ampicillin antibiotic resistance</b>, R-Boca Raton, to give a sales tax exemption to consumers who buy battery-powered, <b>ampicillin anhydrous</b>, <b>Ampicillin reconstitution</b>, electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids picked up a unanimous endorsement today.</p>
<p>The measure also would set aside 0, <b>sigma ampicillin</b>, <b>Kanamycin ampicillin</b>, 000 to provide incentives to build 100 charging stations throughout the state, since electric cars usually only last from 40 miles to 100 miles between charges, <b>lb broth ampicillin</b>.  <b>Ampicillin oral</b>, Today, electric vehicles and plug-in cars are a niche product, <b>uses for ampicillin</b>.  <b>Ampicillin brand name</b>, There are just 100 plug-ins on the road on Florida.  <b>Ampicillin plate</b>, But the electric car is coming – if a little slowly. The federal Energy Department has  billion to loan to companies to produce a new breed of electric cars, <b>ampicillin solubility</b>.  <b>Ampicillin history</b>, So far, none of the money has been doled out, <b>ampicillin administration</b>, <b>Binotal ampicillin</b>, but 75 companies, including three Detroit auto manufacturers, <b>ampicillin trade name</b>, <b>Ampicillin tr</b>, have submitted applications, according to the New York Times.</p>
<p>The federal stimulus bill also provides a ,500 tax credit for consumers who purchase plug-in vehicles.</p>
<p>One example is the much-publicized Chevy Volt, a plug-in hybrid due out in 2010 that ailing General Motors is staking its future on.  Ford is rolling out an electric four-door sedan in 2011 and Toyota plans to bring an electric car to showrooms in 2012, <b>ampicillin plate</b>.</p>
<p>“This is a chance for Florida to take the lead in the electric car movement,” Hasner said.</p>
<p>The electric car bill (HB879) would exempt sales of electric vehicles from the state’s 6-cent sales tax and provide a ,000 corporate tax credit to companies that have more than 10 electric or plug-in vehicles in their fleets.</p>
<p>In addition, consumers and businesses would be eligible for a ,000 rebate after converting a gasoline-powered vehicle to a plug-in.</p>
<p>As the House Energy and Utilities Committee gave its stamp of approval to the measure, Hasner is planning a showing of “Who Killed the Electric Car?” to legislators tonight at the Tallahassee IMAX theatre. During the fall campaign, Hasner drove a leased 2002 all-electric Toyota RAV-4 throughout his south Palm Beach-Broward county district — when gas was at its -a-gallon peak. “I drove by the gas station with a smile every single day, because I was using an electric car that didn’t use any gas,” he said.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Last Thursday, I flipped on the KTLA 5 news around 10:30pm, while grabbing a late dinner, and caught a <a href="http://www.fiskerautomotive.com/">Fisker Automotive</a> Karma ad...on TV!  I was caught completely and pleasantly by surprise seeing this great ad, as I don't think we've yet seen any other EV/PHEV specific ads from any of the smaller start-ups.

Justifying the cost of TV ads could be difficult, but has the positive effect of alerting the general population - most of which are not closely following the EV movement - to realize EVs/PHEVs are happening.

I was able to find the <a href="http://www.fiskerautomotive.com/">Fisker Automotive</a> Karma ad that ran during the KTLA pre-show
broadcast of the Academy Awards (2009.02.22), <strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJlhcBotQ7w&amp;fmt=18">archived on YouTube</a></strong> for those that have not yet seen it:

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[We have TWO reports from guest bloggers who attended the <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a> in the Wild EVent Thursday night at Smooth's Sports Grille in Long Beach, CA.  Also embedded below is a recent Aptera 2e demo ride video (with founder Steve Fambro) from the <a href="http://www.ted.com/">2009 TED conference</a> (held in Long Beach, CA) recently uploaded by Aptera forum member Josh.

<strong><em>Guest Blogger - Jenean Smith</em></strong>
It was a rainy night but I decided to jump in my car and see the new <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a> in person tonight in Long Beach. None of the usual suspects were there, (no one I recognized at least), which is a good sign that more and more people are interested in EVs. It's a very sleek car indeed and now with front wheel drive -- like something from a Doctor Who episode transported into the future and modernized for 2009.

<strong><em>Guest Blogger - Jim Hannigan</em></strong>
<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/20090205aptera-smooths.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1632 alignright" title="20090205aptera-smooths" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/20090205aptera-smooths.jpg" alt="20090205aptera-smooths" width="298" height="224" /></a>I went by Smooth's on my way home from work. The Aptera was parked in the restaurant's sidewalk seating area that in the winter is roofed over and enclosed with vinyl fabric. 25 or 30 people were there along with another eight or so Aptera employees as identified by their logo shirts. There was no organized presentation while I was there, but the vehicle could be touched, photographed (I only had a cellphone) and at least for a while some were allowed to sit in it.

I was not aware that this was the first time an Aptera had been shown in public. Several of those in attendance excitedly recited their reservation numbers.

I was told the car was a driveable pre-production unit and that some features would be changed. This one had the rear quarter windows and outside mirrors but not the opening door windows shown on the website. Aptera used it for VIP rides at the TED conference earlier in the day (supposedly including Tesla founder Martin Eberhard).

Questions on battery specifics, observed range, powertrain details etc. were all left TBA.

The vehicle is striking in appearance and was very well finished inside and out. The interior, controls and switches all seemed production grade. Exceptions were the A/C air vents which were complex and delicate looking plastic pieces that I was cautioned not to touch.

The car looks small but is dimensionally large; nearly 15 feet long and over 7 feet wide across the outboard front wheels. The aero tail is relatively high but the front looks very low. I was initially surprised at the small size of the manufacturer's license plate on the car until I remembered the Aptera is classed as a motorcycle. I would have liked to have seen the car on the street around other cars for perspective.

The car was powered up to the extent that the flat-panel dash, Nav displays, parking and brake lights worked. I was able to get a few seconds in the driver's seat. The seats were comfortable, but not deeply contoured. Footwells seemed wide, and head and legroom were good. Front visibility was very good, but not so to the rear : the side mirrors were tiny and the rear window presented a small aperture a long way back.

It is far too early for performance claims but Aptera will likely beat Tesla for eventful ingress/egress. I've owned a Lotus for years and got in and out without a problem, but I watched just about everyone else hit their heads either on the "butterfly" doors or on the doorframe or both.

Dear Aptera Family Member,

In our last newsletter we announced that Aptera would be giving 2e test drives to attendees of the TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) conference in Long Beach. We know most of you aren't attending this exclusive event, so when Smooth's, one of Long Beach's premier night spots and sports bars, offered us an opportunity to showcase the vehicle for the rest of our followers, we seized it.

Join us 6:00pm Thursday night, Feb. 5, at Smooth's to see the vehicle in person and meet other Aptera fans. We know that this is last-minute, but we want you to know about any opportunity to see the Aptera in a public setting.

When:  6pm to 9pm Thursday, February 5, 2009
Location:  Smooth's Sports Grille, 144 Pine Avenue, Long Beach, CA 90802

Thank you,

The Aptera Team - <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera Motors</a> 2009]]></content:encoded>

Regular readers of this blog will know all about Plug in America's triumphant Inaugural EV Parade West in Santa Monica, CA a few weeks back.   Now here's a chance to enjoy some video from the event.

A final count of 77 electric vehicles and over 250 people participated in the rally and subsequent parade. All types of electric vehicles drove quietly and emission free in formation for a few miles through city streets. Plug In America's dedicated volunteers worked their magic during the few weeks leading up to this latest EVent to organize a very successful and historic green parade. EV grins were everywhere and the enthusiasm for plug-ins couldn't have been greater. Plug In America's Inaugural EV Parade West rates as one of the best plug-in EVents to date.

Click play on the below 38 minute video of Plug In America's Inaugural EV Parade West to watch 26 minutes of rally speeches and experience the parade festivities.  Thanks to <a href="http://www.viddler.com">Viddler</a>'s great contextual timeline tagging feature, you can easily skip to any speaker or portion of the video without delay.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The talented <a href="http://www.myspace.com/kristenlreeves">Kristen Reeves</a> produced this wonderful video segment on <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com">AC Propulsion</a> and their world class electric vehicle drive technology.  For the past 3 years AC Propulsion has been converting gasoline Scion xBs to 100% electric drive with their phenomenal <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/tzero/index.php">AC150gen2 electric drive system</a>.  In her video, Kristen interviews AC Propulsion President &amp; CEO Tom Gage, and legendary actor/director and longtime EV enthusiast <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000158/">Tom Hanks</a>.  Mr. Hanks purchased the very first consumer <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/ebox/index.php">eBox</a> back in 2006 and uses it as his primary vehicle for all SoCal commuting.

Kristen writes:  "Imagine taking the car you drive now, and never having to stop at a gas station ever again. AC Propulsion, has been converting gas-fueled cars to electric for two decades.  This is a piece profiling AC Propulsion's car, the <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/ebox/index.php">eBox</a>, with a special interview with Tom Hanks who owns one of these cars.  Is this the way of the future?"

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Sacramento's <a href="http://www.news10.net/">News 10</a> reports on the electric cars of <a href="http://www.ci.vacaville.ca.us/">Vacaville, CA</a>.  In 2003 Vacaville, also known as <a href="http://www.fleetmag.com/print/Fleet-Maintenance/Welcome-to-Voltageville/109">Voltageville</a>, was miles ahead of other cities with over 100 electric cars on the road in both <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">GM EV1</a>s and <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">Toyota RAV4-EV</a>s.  The California Air Resources Board's <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2008.03.26PIArallyCARB/2008.03.26PIArallyCARB.html">1990 Zero Emissions Vehicle mandate</a> would have required 10% of all vehicles sold in California to be zero emissions.  But the <a href="http://www.arb.ca.gov">CARB</a> ZEV mandate was rescinded in 2003 due to pressure from the automakers.  It resulted in the confiscation of the majority of EVs which had only been available under lease.

In the <a href="http://www.news10.net/">News 10</a> segment <a href="http://www.evworld.com/article.cfm?storyid=152">Ed Huestis, Vacaville's Transportation Manager</a>, comments:  "Once you've driven an electric vehicle, you never want to go back to gasoline...you just don't."  Former GM EV1 owner Jerry Hobrecht and Toyota RAV4-EV owner <a href="http://www.evnut.com/">Darell Dickey</a> are also interviewed expressing their immense enthusiasm for electric drive.

Now, every major automaker is scrambling to produce an electric vehicle.  Watch the <a href="http://www.news10.net/video/default.aspx?playerId=newsmaker&amp;maven_playlistId=63762cfa11fe40643571b0d28136516c002a19f3&amp;maven_referrer=mrss&amp;maven_referralPlaylistId=63762cfa11fe40643571b0d28136516c002a19f3&amp;maven_referralObject=941648966">News 10 report</a> after the jump to learn why "No city is more ready for the return of the electric car than <a href="http://www.ci.vacaville.ca.us/">Vacaville, CA</a>."

This summer Swiss visionary <span><a href="http://www.louispalmer.ch/">Louis Palmer</a></span> and his friendly team made several stops in Southern California on their global whirlwind tour with their spectacular <a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/">Solartaxi Electric Vehicle</a>.  One of the stops was at <a href="http://www.avinc.com/chargingsystems.asp">AeroVironment</a> in Simi Valley.

[caption id="attachment_621" align="alignleft" width="200" caption="Solartaxi parked at AeroVironment - Simi Valley, CA."]<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxiav_dsc_1841.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-621" title="solartaxiav_dsc_1841" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxiav_dsc_1841-200x200.jpg" alt="Solartaxi parked at AeroVironment - Simi Valley, CA." width="200" height="200" /></a>[/caption]

The Solartaxi is a realization of one of Louis' childhood dreams : to drive a zero emissions solar powered electric car around the world. He wants to show people that solutions already exist to resolve the Global Warming crisis.  <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/mission/">Click here to read Solartaxi's mission statement</a></span>.

[caption id="attachment_632" align="alignright" width="200" caption="Solartaxi&#39;s Louis Palmer with Paul Scott on a test drive."]<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-632" title="solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902-200x200.jpg" alt="Solartaxi's Louis Palmer with PIA's Paul Scott on a test drive." width="200" height="200" /></a>[/caption]

Towards this end, the Solartaxi is a promotional vehicle and not one that is suggested we all be driving. The <span><a href="http://www.q-cells.com/">Q-Cell solar panels</a></span> mounted on the trailer towed behind the Solartaxi provide 50% of the electricity required for the journey. They're mainly along for the ride to demonstrate that photovoltaic solar technology is real and available today. They also help to ensure the vehicle can keep traveling even in remote sections of the world should they fail to find a plug for recharging.  The other 50% of the electricity required for the journey is obtained by plugging into the electrical grid en route.  In Switzerland, the Solartaxi team has created a stationary solar array to feed green power into the (global) electrical grid. <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/technology/energy-concept/">Solartaxi just extracts that greenly produced electrical energy from the grid while touring the world</a></span>. We should all support the installation of rooftop mounted PV solar to power our homes and our near-future plug-in electric vehicles.

Solartaxi has two Swiss made 14kwhr <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/technology/zebra-battery/">Zebra batteries</a></span> which are a <span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten_salt_battery">molten-salt type battery</a></span> that has an operating temperature window of 270-350degC (518-662degF). The battery is insulated in a thermos-style package to minimize heat loss and has a life of about 1000 charging cycles. Zebra batteries have an energy density of around 90Whr/kg. Solartaxi has one of these Zebra batteries in the car portion and a second is located along the axle of the photovoltaic solar panel trailer.  That gives a cummulative energy storage capacity of 28kWhrs. The Solartaxi electric drive motor powering the single rear wheel is rated at a peak of 13kW.  The Q-Cells PV solar modules produce upwards of 600 watts. To recharge the batteries solely from the rear trailer would take about 4 days.

After admiring and discussing the Solartaxi for almost an hour, Solartaxi Tour Director Louis Palmer gave a fantastic 40 minute PowerPoint presentation on his mission and adventures.   As of this summer's SoCal visit, Louis had traveled two thirds of his journey around the world. The presentation was followed by an enthusiastic EV technology discussion along with real test drives of the Solartaxi - viewable in the video below.

<em><strong>Friday November 14th, 2008 - GM Training Center - Burbank, CA</strong></em>

<strong><em> <span style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">The Honorable Nate Holden, former California State Senator and L.A. City Council Member, held a press conference demanding General Motors apologize to the American people for destroying the automaker's <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">EV1</a></span> plug-in electric vehicle.  Mr. Holden demanded the EV1's immediate re-introduction before, or in exchange for, any Government bailout of GM. </span></em></strong>

“General Motors compounded their financial woes by destroying the <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">EV1</a></span> and continued to work with the oil companies to gouge the public. It's a dishonest act on the part of General Motors.” said Holden.

This press conference was held at the very same GM facility where the <span><a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/saveev1.htm">EV1 Vigil</a></span> took place during February and March 2005. Loyal <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">GM EV1</a></span> customers tried valiantly to save 78 remaining EV1s from being <span><a href="http://www.evnut.com/ev1_crushed.htm">crushed</a></span>. Activists kept a 24/7 watch over the vehicles and offered to buy the EV1s from GM for their residual value. <span><a href="http://www.alexandrapaul.com/">Alexandra Paul</a></span> and <span><a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1665635/">Colette Divine</a></span> were arrested while peacefully protesting and making a stand against an EV1 filled GM transport semi attempting to exit the facility.   Chris Paine's film <span>"<a href="http://www.whokilledthelectricar.com">Who Killed the Electric Car ?</a>"</span> documented the <span><a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/saveev1.htm">EV1 Vigil</a></span>. Former EV1 drivers Doug Korthof and Chris Reeves attended and spoke at Holden's press conference, having each arrived in their respective plug-in EVs (<span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">2002 Toyota RAV4-EV</a></span> and <span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevy_S-10_EV">1997 GM Chevy S10 EV</a></span>).

Alex Datig (Business &amp; Public Affairs Consultant, <span><a href="http://www.highroadla.com/">HighRoad Consulting Group LLC</a></span>) let us know that Mr. Holden had a fruitful day getting the EV1 word out.  After the press conference at the GM Training Center Mr Holden went to City Hall to conduct more interviews and to speak to elected officials. He sent the story to <span><a href="http://www.kfwb.com/">KFWB News 980</a></span> and to President-elect Barack Obama.  Mr Holden had the following words for the loyal supporters of the EV1 :

"I want to thank the EV1 family for their support and encouragement for me to continue the fight to hold General Motors and other auto manufacturers' feet to the fire. As you know, today I strongly urge Congress to withhold any bailout funds from the auto industry, unless and until the industry agrees to mass-produce fuel efficiency automobiles; electric cars.

Congress should not, under any circumstances, release the bailout money to automobile manufacturers without making these demands. Without these demands, the automobile manufacturers will just continue with "business as usual," manufacturing gas-guzzlers, which would increase our dependency on the middle-east oil producing countries. This dependency must end now!

We are the advocates of the electric car family and must continue our fight to save the electric car. We must not allow Congress to backslide, or "bait and switch." At the very least, members of the electric car family demand that the conditions that were incorporated in the funding legislation of the  Billion loan package of September 2008 be adhered to.

I respectfully urge each member of the electric car family to contact Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of the United States Senate, Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and each of your local members of Congress, to let them know that any deviation on their part from the conditions of the loan approved in September will not be tolerated.

Lets keep the pressure on!"

Nate Holden
California State Senate, ret.
Los Angeles City Council, ret.

Hon. Nate Holden's next press conference on the EV1 will be held on Wednesday, November 19, 2008 at 10:00 AM at the <span><a href="http://www.laautoshow.com/">LA Auto Show</a></span> (<span><a href="http://www.lacclink.com/">LA Convention Center</a></span> - Pavilion adjacent to West Entrance).

The party was totally sold out: 250 guests and two superb electric vehicle rockstars - GM's newly released preproduction prototype <a href="http://www.chevrolet.com/electriccar/">Chevy Volt</a> and a silver <a href="http://www.teslamotors.com/">Tesla Roadster</a>. Due to parking limitations, valet parking was provided and guests were shuttled to the venue in several <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">Toyota RAV4-EVs</a> and a couple of very quick and spacious <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/acpropulsion/eBox/ebox_index.html">AC Propulsion eBoxes</a>. Chris Paine's film crew was in attendance filming the EVent.

But the speeches were the real highlight of the evening, delivered from a roof top overlooking the partygoers.  Host <a href="http://www.papercutfilms.com/about/#chris">Chris Paine</a> discussed his recent trip to Detroit for the pre-production GM Chevy Volt unveiling and describing how surreal it was to have the Chevy Volt parked in his backyard for this memorable party. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelsea_Sexton">Chelsea Sexton</a> followed with another eloquent summary of Plug In America's humble grassroots beginnings.   Plug In America's president <a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/about-us/our-team.html">Linda Nicholes</a> and board member <a href="http://www.alexandrapaul.com/">Alexandra Paul</a> gave a surprise thank you to two dedicated PIA volunteers. Renowned auto journalist <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/writers/dan-neil">Dan Neil</a> of the LA Times delivered a rave review of the GM Chevy Volt - and some of his trademark wit. And lastly, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Woolsey">James Woolsey</a> summarized the vital national security requirement for our nation to embrace, develop, and deploy plug-in electric vehicles.

The party also featured a silent auction for green and EV related items, including a <a href="http://www.duffyboats.com/">Duffy Electric Boat</a> rental, a <a href="http://www.zeromotorcycles.com/">2009 Zero X Electric Motorcycle</a>, and a beautiful blue <a href="http://www.vectrixusa.com/">2008 Vectrix Electric Maxi-Scooter</a> (from <a href="http://www.delamo-motorsports.com/">Delamo Motorsports</a> in Redondo Beach). <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/vectrix/ElectricMaxi-Scooter/2007.03.16VectrixDemo/VectrixDemo.html">Click here to see my Vectrix Electric Maxi-Scooter</a> coverage from March 2007.

One of our favorite guests from our shoot in Iceland, Bill Dube and his <a href="http://www.killacycle.com/">KillaCycle</a> Team, made headlines this past week in Colorado with a new EV world speed record.

On Thursday October 23rd, 2008, Team <a href="http://www.killacycle.com/">KillaCycle</a> set their latest drag racing world record at <a href="http://www.bandimere.com/">Bandimere Raceway</a>. Rider Scotty Pollacheck piloted the wickedly fast all electric <a href="http://www.a123systems.com/">A123Systems</a> NanoPhosphate battery powered motorcycle down the quarter mile in only 7.89 seconds, ending with a top speed of 168 MPH.

Scotty's run qualifies as a new official <a href="http://www.nedra.com/">NEDRA</a> (National Electric Drag Racing Association) record, vaulting the KillaCycle into the history books as the world's quickest quarter mile electric vehicle of any kind.

<p>Last week I was notified by <a href="http://www.cleanfuelconnection.com/">Clean Fuel Connection</a> (the company contracted by MINI to deploy the MINI E specific <a href="http://www.clippercreek.net/">Clipper Creek</a> charge stations) that they would be conducting an initial site inspection of my garage and electrical service to insure I could support a <a href="http://www.minispace.com/en_us/projects/electric-mini-e/">MINI E</a>, <b>ampicillin dilution</b>.  <b>Bla ampicillin</b>,   On Wednesday, March 11th, <b>ampicillin msds</b>, <b>Molecular weight of ampicillin</b>, 2009, at 1:30pm I met with a very friendly Paul Jette of Sunpower Electrical, <b>pharmacokinetics of ampicillin</b>, <b>Ampicillin spectrum</b>, the electrical contractor assigned to do the actual charge station install.  He inspected and took some photos of my 200Amp main electrical utility panel, <b>ampicillin contraindications</b>, <b>Binotal ampicillin</b>, and the garage space where the Clipper Creek MINI E charge station will be installed.  <b>Lb ampicillin</b>,  A couple of years ago I had upgraded my electrical distribution system when I self-installed a 4kW Photovoltaic system with the knowledge that plug-in EVs would soon be in my driving future. My electrical cleanup resulted in a very neat and sparsely populated main panel, <b>ampicillin uses</b>, <b>Ampicillin brand name</b>, as I offloaded all individual circuits to a couple of subpanels.  A majority of residences' main electrical utility panel is their only panel, <b>ampicillin satellite colonies</b>, <b>Ampicillin synthesis</b>, and many times it is completely stuffed with breakers and wiring, with no room for additional expansion, <b>ampicillin production</b>.  <b>Ampicillin tr 500 mg</b>,  This is a result many times of the initial builder trying to save a few $$ and installing a less expensive panel.  Generally, <b>ampicillin satellite colonies</b>, <b>Ampicillin sensitivity</b>, the cost of the electrical panel is "in the noise" (negligible), where the the majority of the cost of any electrical work is in the labor, <b>stability of ampicillin</b>.</p>

<p>Paul and I discussed the Clipper Creek charge station during his visit, <b>lb ampicillin</b>.  It is to be protected by a 60amp feed breaker installed at the main panel.  Paul confirmed the location I had already selected for mounting of the charge station to be ideal.  I learned I was Paul's 3rd MINI E initial site visit that day.  These were his very first visits in the MINI E deployment program.</p>
<p>While MINI is picking up the tab for any and all electrical work required to install the <a href="http://www.clippercreek.net/">Clipper Creek</a> <b>Lb ampicillin</b>, charge station, being an engineer  I have the desire to install a kilowatt-hour meter ahead of the charge station to log EV charging kW/hrs.  This self-imposed requirement means the charge station install by MINI at my house will be one of their simplest, as they just need to connect the charge station a few feet directly to the pre-installed and wired <a href="http://www.milbankmfg.com/">Milbank</a> kilowatt-hour meter box I'll already have in place.  I'm looking forward to a callback from Clean Fuel Connection once they are ready to send out the Clipper Creek charge station for installation.</p>

<p>Hasner’s electric car tax break gets boost</p>
<p>Posted by Josh Hafenbrack at 9:50 AM 2009.03.10</p>
<p>The Legislature is taking a step toward giving a Sunshine State boost to the next generation of automobiles: electric-powered cars, <b>ampicillin plate</b>.</p>
<p>An effort led by House Majority Leader Adam Hasner, <b>ampicillin msds</b>, <b>Ampicillin antibiotic resistance</b>, R-Boca Raton, to give a sales tax exemption to consumers who buy battery-powered, <b>ampicillin anhydrous</b>, <b>Ampicillin reconstitution</b>, electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids picked up a unanimous endorsement today.</p>
<p>The measure also would set aside 0, <b>sigma ampicillin</b>, <b>Kanamycin ampicillin</b>, 000 to provide incentives to build 100 charging stations throughout the state, since electric cars usually only last from 40 miles to 100 miles between charges, <b>lb broth ampicillin</b>.  <b>Ampicillin oral</b>, Today, electric vehicles and plug-in cars are a niche product, <b>uses for ampicillin</b>.  <b>Ampicillin brand name</b>, There are just 100 plug-ins on the road on Florida.  <b>Ampicillin plate</b>, But the electric car is coming – if a little slowly. The federal Energy Department has  billion to loan to companies to produce a new breed of electric cars, <b>ampicillin solubility</b>.  <b>Ampicillin history</b>, So far, none of the money has been doled out, <b>ampicillin administration</b>, <b>Binotal ampicillin</b>, but 75 companies, including three Detroit auto manufacturers, <b>ampicillin trade name</b>, <b>Ampicillin tr</b>, have submitted applications, according to the New York Times.</p>
<p>The federal stimulus bill also provides a ,500 tax credit for consumers who purchase plug-in vehicles.</p>
<p>One example is the much-publicized Chevy Volt, a plug-in hybrid due out in 2010 that ailing General Motors is staking its future on.  Ford is rolling out an electric four-door sedan in 2011 and Toyota plans to bring an electric car to showrooms in 2012, <b>ampicillin plate</b>.</p>
<p>“This is a chance for Florida to take the lead in the electric car movement,” Hasner said.</p>
<p>The electric car bill (HB879) would exempt sales of electric vehicles from the state’s 6-cent sales tax and provide a ,000 corporate tax credit to companies that have more than 10 electric or plug-in vehicles in their fleets.</p>
<p>In addition, consumers and businesses would be eligible for a ,000 rebate after converting a gasoline-powered vehicle to a plug-in.</p>
<p>As the House Energy and Utilities Committee gave its stamp of approval to the measure, Hasner is planning a showing of “Who Killed the Electric Car?” to legislators tonight at the Tallahassee IMAX theatre. During the fall campaign, Hasner drove a leased 2002 all-electric Toyota RAV-4 throughout his south Palm Beach-Broward county district — when gas was at its -a-gallon peak. “I drove by the gas station with a smile every single day, because I was using an electric car that didn’t use any gas,” he said.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Last Thursday, I flipped on the KTLA 5 news around 10:30pm, while grabbing a late dinner, and caught a <a href="http://www.fiskerautomotive.com/">Fisker Automotive</a> Karma ad...on TV!  I was caught completely and pleasantly by surprise seeing this great ad, as I don't think we've yet seen any other EV/PHEV specific ads from any of the smaller start-ups.

Justifying the cost of TV ads could be difficult, but has the positive effect of alerting the general population - most of which are not closely following the EV movement - to realize EVs/PHEVs are happening.

I was able to find the <a href="http://www.fiskerautomotive.com/">Fisker Automotive</a> Karma ad that ran during the KTLA pre-show
broadcast of the Academy Awards (2009.02.22), <strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJlhcBotQ7w&amp;fmt=18">archived on YouTube</a></strong> for those that have not yet seen it:

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[We have TWO reports from guest bloggers who attended the <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a> in the Wild EVent Thursday night at Smooth's Sports Grille in Long Beach, CA.  Also embedded below is a recent Aptera 2e demo ride video (with founder Steve Fambro) from the <a href="http://www.ted.com/">2009 TED conference</a> (held in Long Beach, CA) recently uploaded by Aptera forum member Josh.

<strong><em>Guest Blogger - Jenean Smith</em></strong>
It was a rainy night but I decided to jump in my car and see the new <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a> in person tonight in Long Beach. None of the usual suspects were there, (no one I recognized at least), which is a good sign that more and more people are interested in EVs. It's a very sleek car indeed and now with front wheel drive -- like something from a Doctor Who episode transported into the future and modernized for 2009.

<strong><em>Guest Blogger - Jim Hannigan</em></strong>
<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/20090205aptera-smooths.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1632 alignright" title="20090205aptera-smooths" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/20090205aptera-smooths.jpg" alt="20090205aptera-smooths" width="298" height="224" /></a>I went by Smooth's on my way home from work. The Aptera was parked in the restaurant's sidewalk seating area that in the winter is roofed over and enclosed with vinyl fabric. 25 or 30 people were there along with another eight or so Aptera employees as identified by their logo shirts. There was no organized presentation while I was there, but the vehicle could be touched, photographed (I only had a cellphone) and at least for a while some were allowed to sit in it.

I was not aware that this was the first time an Aptera had been shown in public. Several of those in attendance excitedly recited their reservation numbers.

I was told the car was a driveable pre-production unit and that some features would be changed. This one had the rear quarter windows and outside mirrors but not the opening door windows shown on the website. Aptera used it for VIP rides at the TED conference earlier in the day (supposedly including Tesla founder Martin Eberhard).

Questions on battery specifics, observed range, powertrain details etc. were all left TBA.

The vehicle is striking in appearance and was very well finished inside and out. The interior, controls and switches all seemed production grade. Exceptions were the A/C air vents which were complex and delicate looking plastic pieces that I was cautioned not to touch.

The car looks small but is dimensionally large; nearly 15 feet long and over 7 feet wide across the outboard front wheels. The aero tail is relatively high but the front looks very low. I was initially surprised at the small size of the manufacturer's license plate on the car until I remembered the Aptera is classed as a motorcycle. I would have liked to have seen the car on the street around other cars for perspective.

The car was powered up to the extent that the flat-panel dash, Nav displays, parking and brake lights worked. I was able to get a few seconds in the driver's seat. The seats were comfortable, but not deeply contoured. Footwells seemed wide, and head and legroom were good. Front visibility was very good, but not so to the rear : the side mirrors were tiny and the rear window presented a small aperture a long way back.

It is far too early for performance claims but Aptera will likely beat Tesla for eventful ingress/egress. I've owned a Lotus for years and got in and out without a problem, but I watched just about everyone else hit their heads either on the "butterfly" doors or on the doorframe or both.

Dear Aptera Family Member,

In our last newsletter we announced that Aptera would be giving 2e test drives to attendees of the TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) conference in Long Beach. We know most of you aren't attending this exclusive event, so when Smooth's, one of Long Beach's premier night spots and sports bars, offered us an opportunity to showcase the vehicle for the rest of our followers, we seized it.

Join us 6:00pm Thursday night, Feb. 5, at Smooth's to see the vehicle in person and meet other Aptera fans. We know that this is last-minute, but we want you to know about any opportunity to see the Aptera in a public setting.

When:  6pm to 9pm Thursday, February 5, 2009
Location:  Smooth's Sports Grille, 144 Pine Avenue, Long Beach, CA 90802

Thank you,

The Aptera Team - <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera Motors</a> 2009]]></content:encoded>

Regular readers of this blog will know all about Plug in America's triumphant Inaugural EV Parade West in Santa Monica, CA a few weeks back.   Now here's a chance to enjoy some video from the event.

A final count of 77 electric vehicles and over 250 people participated in the rally and subsequent parade. All types of electric vehicles drove quietly and emission free in formation for a few miles through city streets. Plug In America's dedicated volunteers worked their magic during the few weeks leading up to this latest EVent to organize a very successful and historic green parade. EV grins were everywhere and the enthusiasm for plug-ins couldn't have been greater. Plug In America's Inaugural EV Parade West rates as one of the best plug-in EVents to date.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The talented <a href="http://www.myspace.com/kristenlreeves">Kristen Reeves</a> produced this wonderful video segment on <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com">AC Propulsion</a> and their world class electric vehicle drive technology.  For the past 3 years AC Propulsion has been converting gasoline Scion xBs to 100% electric drive with their phenomenal <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/tzero/index.php">AC150gen2 electric drive system</a>.  In her video, Kristen interviews AC Propulsion President &amp; CEO Tom Gage, and legendary actor/director and longtime EV enthusiast <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000158/">Tom Hanks</a>.  Mr. Hanks purchased the very first consumer <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/ebox/index.php">eBox</a> back in 2006 and uses it as his primary vehicle for all SoCal commuting.

Kristen writes:  "Imagine taking the car you drive now, and never having to stop at a gas station ever again. AC Propulsion, has been converting gas-fueled cars to electric for two decades.  This is a piece profiling AC Propulsion's car, the <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/ebox/index.php">eBox</a>, with a special interview with Tom Hanks who owns one of these cars.  Is this the way of the future?"

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Sacramento's <a href="http://www.news10.net/">News 10</a> reports on the electric cars of <a href="http://www.ci.vacaville.ca.us/">Vacaville, CA</a>.  In 2003 Vacaville, also known as <a href="http://www.fleetmag.com/print/Fleet-Maintenance/Welcome-to-Voltageville/109">Voltageville</a>, was miles ahead of other cities with over 100 electric cars on the road in both <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">GM EV1</a>s and <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">Toyota RAV4-EV</a>s.  The California Air Resources Board's <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2008.03.26PIArallyCARB/2008.03.26PIArallyCARB.html">1990 Zero Emissions Vehicle mandate</a> would have required 10% of all vehicles sold in California to be zero emissions.  But the <a href="http://www.arb.ca.gov">CARB</a> ZEV mandate was rescinded in 2003 due to pressure from the automakers.  It resulted in the confiscation of the majority of EVs which had only been available under lease.

In the <a href="http://www.news10.net/">News 10</a> segment <a href="http://www.evworld.com/article.cfm?storyid=152">Ed Huestis, Vacaville's Transportation Manager</a>, comments:  "Once you've driven an electric vehicle, you never want to go back to gasoline...you just don't."  Former GM EV1 owner Jerry Hobrecht and Toyota RAV4-EV owner <a href="http://www.evnut.com/">Darell Dickey</a> are also interviewed expressing their immense enthusiasm for electric drive.

Now, every major automaker is scrambling to produce an electric vehicle.  Watch the <a href="http://www.news10.net/video/default.aspx?playerId=newsmaker&amp;maven_playlistId=63762cfa11fe40643571b0d28136516c002a19f3&amp;maven_referrer=mrss&amp;maven_referralPlaylistId=63762cfa11fe40643571b0d28136516c002a19f3&amp;maven_referralObject=941648966">News 10 report</a> after the jump to learn why "No city is more ready for the return of the electric car than <a href="http://www.ci.vacaville.ca.us/">Vacaville, CA</a>."

This summer Swiss visionary <span><a href="http://www.louispalmer.ch/">Louis Palmer</a></span> and his friendly team made several stops in Southern California on their global whirlwind tour with their spectacular <a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/">Solartaxi Electric Vehicle</a>.  One of the stops was at <a href="http://www.avinc.com/chargingsystems.asp">AeroVironment</a> in Simi Valley.

[caption id="attachment_621" align="alignleft" width="200" caption="Solartaxi parked at AeroVironment - Simi Valley, CA."]<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxiav_dsc_1841.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-621" title="solartaxiav_dsc_1841" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxiav_dsc_1841-200x200.jpg" alt="Solartaxi parked at AeroVironment - Simi Valley, CA." width="200" height="200" /></a>[/caption]

The Solartaxi is a realization of one of Louis' childhood dreams : to drive a zero emissions solar powered electric car around the world. He wants to show people that solutions already exist to resolve the Global Warming crisis.  <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/mission/">Click here to read Solartaxi's mission statement</a></span>.

[caption id="attachment_632" align="alignright" width="200" caption="Solartaxi&#39;s Louis Palmer with Paul Scott on a test drive."]<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-632" title="solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902-200x200.jpg" alt="Solartaxi's Louis Palmer with PIA's Paul Scott on a test drive." width="200" height="200" /></a>[/caption]

Towards this end, the Solartaxi is a promotional vehicle and not one that is suggested we all be driving. The <span><a href="http://www.q-cells.com/">Q-Cell solar panels</a></span> mounted on the trailer towed behind the Solartaxi provide 50% of the electricity required for the journey. They're mainly along for the ride to demonstrate that photovoltaic solar technology is real and available today. They also help to ensure the vehicle can keep traveling even in remote sections of the world should they fail to find a plug for recharging.  The other 50% of the electricity required for the journey is obtained by plugging into the electrical grid en route.  In Switzerland, the Solartaxi team has created a stationary solar array to feed green power into the (global) electrical grid. <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/technology/energy-concept/">Solartaxi just extracts that greenly produced electrical energy from the grid while touring the world</a></span>. We should all support the installation of rooftop mounted PV solar to power our homes and our near-future plug-in electric vehicles.

Solartaxi has two Swiss made 14kwhr <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/technology/zebra-battery/">Zebra batteries</a></span> which are a <span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten_salt_battery">molten-salt type battery</a></span> that has an operating temperature window of 270-350degC (518-662degF). The battery is insulated in a thermos-style package to minimize heat loss and has a life of about 1000 charging cycles. Zebra batteries have an energy density of around 90Whr/kg. Solartaxi has one of these Zebra batteries in the car portion and a second is located along the axle of the photovoltaic solar panel trailer.  That gives a cummulative energy storage capacity of 28kWhrs. The Solartaxi electric drive motor powering the single rear wheel is rated at a peak of 13kW.  The Q-Cells PV solar modules produce upwards of 600 watts. To recharge the batteries solely from the rear trailer would take about 4 days.

After admiring and discussing the Solartaxi for almost an hour, Solartaxi Tour Director Louis Palmer gave a fantastic 40 minute PowerPoint presentation on his mission and adventures.   As of this summer's SoCal visit, Louis had traveled two thirds of his journey around the world. The presentation was followed by an enthusiastic EV technology discussion along with real test drives of the Solartaxi - viewable in the video below.

<em><strong>Friday November 14th, 2008 - GM Training Center - Burbank, CA</strong></em>

<strong><em> <span style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">The Honorable Nate Holden, former California State Senator and L.A. City Council Member, held a press conference demanding General Motors apologize to the American people for destroying the automaker's <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">EV1</a></span> plug-in electric vehicle.  Mr. Holden demanded the EV1's immediate re-introduction before, or in exchange for, any Government bailout of GM. </span></em></strong>

“General Motors compounded their financial woes by destroying the <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">EV1</a></span> and continued to work with the oil companies to gouge the public. It's a dishonest act on the part of General Motors.” said Holden.

This press conference was held at the very same GM facility where the <span><a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/saveev1.htm">EV1 Vigil</a></span> took place during February and March 2005. Loyal <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">GM EV1</a></span> customers tried valiantly to save 78 remaining EV1s from being <span><a href="http://www.evnut.com/ev1_crushed.htm">crushed</a></span>. Activists kept a 24/7 watch over the vehicles and offered to buy the EV1s from GM for their residual value. <span><a href="http://www.alexandrapaul.com/">Alexandra Paul</a></span> and <span><a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1665635/">Colette Divine</a></span> were arrested while peacefully protesting and making a stand against an EV1 filled GM transport semi attempting to exit the facility.   Chris Paine's film <span>"<a href="http://www.whokilledthelectricar.com">Who Killed the Electric Car ?</a>"</span> documented the <span><a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/saveev1.htm">EV1 Vigil</a></span>. Former EV1 drivers Doug Korthof and Chris Reeves attended and spoke at Holden's press conference, having each arrived in their respective plug-in EVs (<span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">2002 Toyota RAV4-EV</a></span> and <span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevy_S-10_EV">1997 GM Chevy S10 EV</a></span>).

Alex Datig (Business &amp; Public Affairs Consultant, <span><a href="http://www.highroadla.com/">HighRoad Consulting Group LLC</a></span>) let us know that Mr. Holden had a fruitful day getting the EV1 word out.  After the press conference at the GM Training Center Mr Holden went to City Hall to conduct more interviews and to speak to elected officials. He sent the story to <span><a href="http://www.kfwb.com/">KFWB News 980</a></span> and to President-elect Barack Obama.  Mr Holden had the following words for the loyal supporters of the EV1 :

"I want to thank the EV1 family for their support and encouragement for me to continue the fight to hold General Motors and other auto manufacturers' feet to the fire. As you know, today I strongly urge Congress to withhold any bailout funds from the auto industry, unless and until the industry agrees to mass-produce fuel efficiency automobiles; electric cars.

Congress should not, under any circumstances, release the bailout money to automobile manufacturers without making these demands. Without these demands, the automobile manufacturers will just continue with "business as usual," manufacturing gas-guzzlers, which would increase our dependency on the middle-east oil producing countries. This dependency must end now!

We are the advocates of the electric car family and must continue our fight to save the electric car. We must not allow Congress to backslide, or "bait and switch." At the very least, members of the electric car family demand that the conditions that were incorporated in the funding legislation of the  Billion loan package of September 2008 be adhered to.

I respectfully urge each member of the electric car family to contact Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of the United States Senate, Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and each of your local members of Congress, to let them know that any deviation on their part from the conditions of the loan approved in September will not be tolerated.

Lets keep the pressure on!"

Nate Holden
California State Senate, ret.
Los Angeles City Council, ret.

Hon. Nate Holden's next press conference on the EV1 will be held on Wednesday, November 19, 2008 at 10:00 AM at the <span><a href="http://www.laautoshow.com/">LA Auto Show</a></span> (<span><a href="http://www.lacclink.com/">LA Convention Center</a></span> - Pavilion adjacent to West Entrance).

The party was totally sold out: 250 guests and two superb electric vehicle rockstars - GM's newly released preproduction prototype <a href="http://www.chevrolet.com/electriccar/">Chevy Volt</a> and a silver <a href="http://www.teslamotors.com/">Tesla Roadster</a>. Due to parking limitations, valet parking was provided and guests were shuttled to the venue in several <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">Toyota RAV4-EVs</a> and a couple of very quick and spacious <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/acpropulsion/eBox/ebox_index.html">AC Propulsion eBoxes</a>. Chris Paine's film crew was in attendance filming the EVent.

But the speeches were the real highlight of the evening, delivered from a roof top overlooking the partygoers.  Host <a href="http://www.papercutfilms.com/about/#chris">Chris Paine</a> discussed his recent trip to Detroit for the pre-production GM Chevy Volt unveiling and describing how surreal it was to have the Chevy Volt parked in his backyard for this memorable party. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelsea_Sexton">Chelsea Sexton</a> followed with another eloquent summary of Plug In America's humble grassroots beginnings.   Plug In America's president <a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/about-us/our-team.html">Linda Nicholes</a> and board member <a href="http://www.alexandrapaul.com/">Alexandra Paul</a> gave a surprise thank you to two dedicated PIA volunteers. Renowned auto journalist <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/writers/dan-neil">Dan Neil</a> of the LA Times delivered a rave review of the GM Chevy Volt - and some of his trademark wit. And lastly, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Woolsey">James Woolsey</a> summarized the vital national security requirement for our nation to embrace, develop, and deploy plug-in electric vehicles.

The party also featured a silent auction for green and EV related items, including a <a href="http://www.duffyboats.com/">Duffy Electric Boat</a> rental, a <a href="http://www.zeromotorcycles.com/">2009 Zero X Electric Motorcycle</a>, and a beautiful blue <a href="http://www.vectrixusa.com/">2008 Vectrix Electric Maxi-Scooter</a> (from <a href="http://www.delamo-motorsports.com/">Delamo Motorsports</a> in Redondo Beach). <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/vectrix/ElectricMaxi-Scooter/2007.03.16VectrixDemo/VectrixDemo.html">Click here to see my Vectrix Electric Maxi-Scooter</a> coverage from March 2007.

One of our favorite guests from our shoot in Iceland, Bill Dube and his <a href="http://www.killacycle.com/">KillaCycle</a> Team, made headlines this past week in Colorado with a new EV world speed record.

On Thursday October 23rd, 2008, Team <a href="http://www.killacycle.com/">KillaCycle</a> set their latest drag racing world record at <a href="http://www.bandimere.com/">Bandimere Raceway</a>. Rider Scotty Pollacheck piloted the wickedly fast all electric <a href="http://www.a123systems.com/">A123Systems</a> NanoPhosphate battery powered motorcycle down the quarter mile in only 7.89 seconds, ending with a top speed of 168 MPH.

Scotty's run qualifies as a new official <a href="http://www.nedra.com/">NEDRA</a> (National Electric Drag Racing Association) record, vaulting the KillaCycle into the history books as the world's quickest quarter mile electric vehicle of any kind.

The KillaCycle's A123Systems battery pack is comprised of 1,210 type <a href="http://www.a123systems.com/#/products/p1">ANR26650M1</a> cells arranged to deliver 375 VDC. The motorcycle's Hi-Torque Electric motor was adjusted to draw 1850 amps for this particular run.

This summer Swiss visionary <span><a href="http://www.louispalmer.ch/">Louis Palmer</a></span> and his friendly team made several stops in Southern California on their global whirlwind tour with their spectacular <a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/">Solartaxi Electric Vehicle</a>.  One of the stops was at <a href="http://www.avinc.com/chargingsystems.asp">AeroVironment</a> in Simi Valley.

[caption id="attachment_621" align="alignleft" width="200" caption="Solartaxi parked at AeroVironment - Simi Valley, CA."]<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxiav_dsc_1841.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-621" title="solartaxiav_dsc_1841" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxiav_dsc_1841-200x200.jpg" alt="Solartaxi parked at AeroVironment - Simi Valley, CA." width="200" height="200" /></a>[/caption]

The Solartaxi is a realization of one of Louis' childhood dreams : to drive a zero emissions solar powered electric car around the world. He wants to show people that solutions already exist to resolve the Global Warming crisis.  <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/mission/">Click here to read Solartaxi's mission statement</a></span>.

[caption id="attachment_632" align="alignright" width="200" caption="Solartaxi&#39;s Louis Palmer with Paul Scott on a test drive."]<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-632" title="solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902-200x200.jpg" alt="Solartaxi's Louis Palmer with PIA's Paul Scott on a test drive." width="200" height="200" /></a>[/caption]

Towards this end, the Solartaxi is a promotional vehicle and not one that is suggested we all be driving. The <span><a href="http://www.q-cells.com/">Q-Cell solar panels</a></span> mounted on the trailer towed behind the Solartaxi provide 50% of the electricity required for the journey. They're mainly along for the ride to demonstrate that photovoltaic solar technology is real and available today. They also help to ensure the vehicle can keep traveling even in remote sections of the world should they fail to find a plug for recharging.  The other 50% of the electricity required for the journey is obtained by plugging into the electrical grid en route.  In Switzerland, the Solartaxi team has created a stationary solar array to feed green power into the (global) electrical grid. <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/technology/energy-concept/">Solartaxi just extracts that greenly produced electrical energy from the grid while touring the world</a></span>. We should all support the installation of rooftop mounted PV solar to power our homes and our near-future plug-in electric vehicles.

Solartaxi has two Swiss made 14kwhr <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/technology/zebra-battery/">Zebra batteries</a></span> which are a <span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten_salt_battery">molten-salt type battery</a></span> that has an operating temperature window of 270-350degC (518-662degF). The battery is insulated in a thermos-style package to minimize heat loss and has a life of about 1000 charging cycles. Zebra batteries have an energy density of around 90Whr/kg. Solartaxi has one of these Zebra batteries in the car portion and a second is located along the axle of the photovoltaic solar panel trailer.  That gives a cummulative energy storage capacity of 28kWhrs. The Solartaxi electric drive motor powering the single rear wheel is rated at a peak of 13kW.  The Q-Cells PV solar modules produce upwards of 600 watts. To recharge the batteries solely from the rear trailer would take about 4 days.

After admiring and discussing the Solartaxi for almost an hour, Solartaxi Tour Director Louis Palmer gave a fantastic 40 minute PowerPoint presentation on his mission and adventures.   As of this summer's SoCal visit, Louis had traveled two thirds of his journey around the world. The presentation was followed by an enthusiastic EV technology discussion along with real test drives of the Solartaxi - viewable in the video below.

<p>Paul and I discussed the Clipper Creek charge station during his visit, <b>lb ampicillin</b>.  It is to be protected by a 60amp feed breaker installed at the main panel.  Paul confirmed the location I had already selected for mounting of the charge station to be ideal.  I learned I was Paul's 3rd MINI E initial site visit that day.  These were his very first visits in the MINI E deployment program.</p>
<p>While MINI is picking up the tab for any and all electrical work required to install the <a href="http://www.clippercreek.net/">Clipper Creek</a> <b>Lb ampicillin</b>, charge station, being an engineer  I have the desire to install a kilowatt-hour meter ahead of the charge station to log EV charging kW/hrs.  This self-imposed requirement means the charge station install by MINI at my house will be one of their simplest, as they just need to connect the charge station a few feet directly to the pre-installed and wired <a href="http://www.milbankmfg.com/">Milbank</a> kilowatt-hour meter box I'll already have in place.  I'm looking forward to a callback from Clean Fuel Connection once they are ready to send out the Clipper Creek charge station for installation.</p>

<p>Hasner’s electric car tax break gets boost</p>
<p>Posted by Josh Hafenbrack at 9:50 AM 2009.03.10</p>
<p>The Legislature is taking a step toward giving a Sunshine State boost to the next generation of automobiles: electric-powered cars, <b>ampicillin plate</b>.</p>
<p>An effort led by House Majority Leader Adam Hasner, <b>ampicillin msds</b>, <b>Ampicillin antibiotic resistance</b>, R-Boca Raton, to give a sales tax exemption to consumers who buy battery-powered, <b>ampicillin anhydrous</b>, <b>Ampicillin reconstitution</b>, electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids picked up a unanimous endorsement today.</p>
<p>The measure also would set aside 0, <b>sigma ampicillin</b>, <b>Kanamycin ampicillin</b>, 000 to provide incentives to build 100 charging stations throughout the state, since electric cars usually only last from 40 miles to 100 miles between charges, <b>lb broth ampicillin</b>.  <b>Ampicillin oral</b>, Today, electric vehicles and plug-in cars are a niche product, <b>uses for ampicillin</b>.  <b>Ampicillin brand name</b>, There are just 100 plug-ins on the road on Florida.  <b>Ampicillin plate</b>, But the electric car is coming – if a little slowly. The federal Energy Department has  billion to loan to companies to produce a new breed of electric cars, <b>ampicillin solubility</b>.  <b>Ampicillin history</b>, So far, none of the money has been doled out, <b>ampicillin administration</b>, <b>Binotal ampicillin</b>, but 75 companies, including three Detroit auto manufacturers, <b>ampicillin trade name</b>, <b>Ampicillin tr</b>, have submitted applications, according to the New York Times.</p>
<p>The federal stimulus bill also provides a ,500 tax credit for consumers who purchase plug-in vehicles.</p>
<p>One example is the much-publicized Chevy Volt, a plug-in hybrid due out in 2010 that ailing General Motors is staking its future on.  Ford is rolling out an electric four-door sedan in 2011 and Toyota plans to bring an electric car to showrooms in 2012, <b>ampicillin plate</b>.</p>
<p>“This is a chance for Florida to take the lead in the electric car movement,” Hasner said.</p>
<p>The electric car bill (HB879) would exempt sales of electric vehicles from the state’s 6-cent sales tax and provide a ,000 corporate tax credit to companies that have more than 10 electric or plug-in vehicles in their fleets.</p>
<p>In addition, consumers and businesses would be eligible for a ,000 rebate after converting a gasoline-powered vehicle to a plug-in.</p>
<p>As the House Energy and Utilities Committee gave its stamp of approval to the measure, Hasner is planning a showing of “Who Killed the Electric Car?” to legislators tonight at the Tallahassee IMAX theatre. During the fall campaign, Hasner drove a leased 2002 all-electric Toyota RAV-4 throughout his south Palm Beach-Broward county district — when gas was at its -a-gallon peak. “I drove by the gas station with a smile every single day, because I was using an electric car that didn’t use any gas,” he said.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Last Thursday, I flipped on the KTLA 5 news around 10:30pm, while grabbing a late dinner, and caught a <a href="http://www.fiskerautomotive.com/">Fisker Automotive</a> Karma ad...on TV!  I was caught completely and pleasantly by surprise seeing this great ad, as I don't think we've yet seen any other EV/PHEV specific ads from any of the smaller start-ups.

Justifying the cost of TV ads could be difficult, but has the positive effect of alerting the general population - most of which are not closely following the EV movement - to realize EVs/PHEVs are happening.

I was able to find the <a href="http://www.fiskerautomotive.com/">Fisker Automotive</a> Karma ad that ran during the KTLA pre-show
broadcast of the Academy Awards (2009.02.22), <strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJlhcBotQ7w&amp;fmt=18">archived on YouTube</a></strong> for those that have not yet seen it:

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[We have TWO reports from guest bloggers who attended the <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a> in the Wild EVent Thursday night at Smooth's Sports Grille in Long Beach, CA.  Also embedded below is a recent Aptera 2e demo ride video (with founder Steve Fambro) from the <a href="http://www.ted.com/">2009 TED conference</a> (held in Long Beach, CA) recently uploaded by Aptera forum member Josh.

<strong><em>Guest Blogger - Jenean Smith</em></strong>
It was a rainy night but I decided to jump in my car and see the new <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a> in person tonight in Long Beach. None of the usual suspects were there, (no one I recognized at least), which is a good sign that more and more people are interested in EVs. It's a very sleek car indeed and now with front wheel drive -- like something from a Doctor Who episode transported into the future and modernized for 2009.

<strong><em>Guest Blogger - Jim Hannigan</em></strong>
<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/20090205aptera-smooths.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1632 alignright" title="20090205aptera-smooths" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/20090205aptera-smooths.jpg" alt="20090205aptera-smooths" width="298" height="224" /></a>I went by Smooth's on my way home from work. The Aptera was parked in the restaurant's sidewalk seating area that in the winter is roofed over and enclosed with vinyl fabric. 25 or 30 people were there along with another eight or so Aptera employees as identified by their logo shirts. There was no organized presentation while I was there, but the vehicle could be touched, photographed (I only had a cellphone) and at least for a while some were allowed to sit in it.

I was not aware that this was the first time an Aptera had been shown in public. Several of those in attendance excitedly recited their reservation numbers.

I was told the car was a driveable pre-production unit and that some features would be changed. This one had the rear quarter windows and outside mirrors but not the opening door windows shown on the website. Aptera used it for VIP rides at the TED conference earlier in the day (supposedly including Tesla founder Martin Eberhard).

Questions on battery specifics, observed range, powertrain details etc. were all left TBA.

The vehicle is striking in appearance and was very well finished inside and out. The interior, controls and switches all seemed production grade. Exceptions were the A/C air vents which were complex and delicate looking plastic pieces that I was cautioned not to touch.

The car looks small but is dimensionally large; nearly 15 feet long and over 7 feet wide across the outboard front wheels. The aero tail is relatively high but the front looks very low. I was initially surprised at the small size of the manufacturer's license plate on the car until I remembered the Aptera is classed as a motorcycle. I would have liked to have seen the car on the street around other cars for perspective.

The car was powered up to the extent that the flat-panel dash, Nav displays, parking and brake lights worked. I was able to get a few seconds in the driver's seat. The seats were comfortable, but not deeply contoured. Footwells seemed wide, and head and legroom were good. Front visibility was very good, but not so to the rear : the side mirrors were tiny and the rear window presented a small aperture a long way back.

It is far too early for performance claims but Aptera will likely beat Tesla for eventful ingress/egress. I've owned a Lotus for years and got in and out without a problem, but I watched just about everyone else hit their heads either on the "butterfly" doors or on the doorframe or both.

Date: Thu, 5 Feb 2009 11:36:10 -0800
From: <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a>
Subject: Aptera in the Wild

Dear Aptera Family Member,

In our last newsletter we announced that Aptera would be giving 2e test drives to attendees of the TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) conference in Long Beach. We know most of you aren't attending this exclusive event, so when Smooth's, one of Long Beach's premier night spots and sports bars, offered us an opportunity to showcase the vehicle for the rest of our followers, we seized it.

Join us 6:00pm Thursday night, Feb. 5, at Smooth's to see the vehicle in person and meet other Aptera fans. We know that this is last-minute, but we want you to know about any opportunity to see the Aptera in a public setting.

When:  6pm to 9pm Thursday, February 5, 2009
Location:  Smooth's Sports Grille, 144 Pine Avenue, Long Beach, CA 90802

Thank you,

The Aptera Team - <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera Motors</a> 2009]]></content:encoded>

Regular readers of this blog will know all about Plug in America's triumphant Inaugural EV Parade West in Santa Monica, CA a few weeks back.   Now here's a chance to enjoy some video from the event.

A final count of 77 electric vehicles and over 250 people participated in the rally and subsequent parade. All types of electric vehicles drove quietly and emission free in formation for a few miles through city streets. Plug In America's dedicated volunteers worked their magic during the few weeks leading up to this latest EVent to organize a very successful and historic green parade. EV grins were everywhere and the enthusiasm for plug-ins couldn't have been greater. Plug In America's Inaugural EV Parade West rates as one of the best plug-in EVents to date.

Click play on the below 38 minute video of Plug In America's Inaugural EV Parade West to watch 26 minutes of rally speeches and experience the parade festivities.  Thanks to <a href="http://www.viddler.com">Viddler</a>'s great contextual timeline tagging feature, you can easily skip to any speaker or portion of the video without delay.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The talented <a href="http://www.myspace.com/kristenlreeves">Kristen Reeves</a> produced this wonderful video segment on <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com">AC Propulsion</a> and their world class electric vehicle drive technology.  For the past 3 years AC Propulsion has been converting gasoline Scion xBs to 100% electric drive with their phenomenal <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/tzero/index.php">AC150gen2 electric drive system</a>.  In her video, Kristen interviews AC Propulsion President &amp; CEO Tom Gage, and legendary actor/director and longtime EV enthusiast <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000158/">Tom Hanks</a>.  Mr. Hanks purchased the very first consumer <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/ebox/index.php">eBox</a> back in 2006 and uses it as his primary vehicle for all SoCal commuting.

Kristen writes:  "Imagine taking the car you drive now, and never having to stop at a gas station ever again. AC Propulsion, has been converting gas-fueled cars to electric for two decades.  This is a piece profiling AC Propulsion's car, the <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/ebox/index.php">eBox</a>, with a special interview with Tom Hanks who owns one of these cars.  Is this the way of the future?"

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Sacramento's <a href="http://www.news10.net/">News 10</a> reports on the electric cars of <a href="http://www.ci.vacaville.ca.us/">Vacaville, CA</a>.  In 2003 Vacaville, also known as <a href="http://www.fleetmag.com/print/Fleet-Maintenance/Welcome-to-Voltageville/109">Voltageville</a>, was miles ahead of other cities with over 100 electric cars on the road in both <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">GM EV1</a>s and <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">Toyota RAV4-EV</a>s.  The California Air Resources Board's <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2008.03.26PIArallyCARB/2008.03.26PIArallyCARB.html">1990 Zero Emissions Vehicle mandate</a> would have required 10% of all vehicles sold in California to be zero emissions.  But the <a href="http://www.arb.ca.gov">CARB</a> ZEV mandate was rescinded in 2003 due to pressure from the automakers.  It resulted in the confiscation of the majority of EVs which had only been available under lease.

In the <a href="http://www.news10.net/">News 10</a> segment <a href="http://www.evworld.com/article.cfm?storyid=152">Ed Huestis, Vacaville's Transportation Manager</a>, comments:  "Once you've driven an electric vehicle, you never want to go back to gasoline...you just don't."  Former GM EV1 owner Jerry Hobrecht and Toyota RAV4-EV owner <a href="http://www.evnut.com/">Darell Dickey</a> are also interviewed expressing their immense enthusiasm for electric drive.

Now, every major automaker is scrambling to produce an electric vehicle.  Watch the <a href="http://www.news10.net/video/default.aspx?playerId=newsmaker&amp;maven_playlistId=63762cfa11fe40643571b0d28136516c002a19f3&amp;maven_referrer=mrss&amp;maven_referralPlaylistId=63762cfa11fe40643571b0d28136516c002a19f3&amp;maven_referralObject=941648966">News 10 report</a> after the jump to learn why "No city is more ready for the return of the electric car than <a href="http://www.ci.vacaville.ca.us/">Vacaville, CA</a>."

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Electric car and renewable energy enthusiast <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/funkymotoman">Gerry Gaydos</a> shares his thoughts during a recent trip to California in the nicely narrated video short below.  Gerry's pursuit of renewable energy and electric drive began in the summer of 1997 when he spent time with some engineering students preparing a solar electric race car for the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Solar_Challenge">World Solar Challenge</a>.  His positive experiences led him on a search for an electric drive system that was both powerful and efficient for use in an electric sports car.  In January of 2001 he visited the legendary <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com">AC Propulsion</a> of San Dimas, CA to meet Alan Cocconi and test drive ACP's phenomenal <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/tzero/">tzero electric sports car</a>.  You'll see AC Propulsion's electric drive technology powering <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/acpropulsion/eBox/ebox_index.html">eBoxes</a>, the <a href="http://www.wrightspeed.com/">Wrightspeed X1</a>, <a href="http://www.teslamotors.com/">Tesla Roadsters</a>, and mention of <a href="http://www.mini-e.com">BMW's electric MINI E</a>.  Watch the video to learn more about Gerry's positive outlook for a renewable and electric future.

This summer Swiss visionary <span><a href="http://www.louispalmer.ch/">Louis Palmer</a></span> and his friendly team made several stops in Southern California on their global whirlwind tour with their spectacular <a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/">Solartaxi Electric Vehicle</a>.  One of the stops was at <a href="http://www.avinc.com/chargingsystems.asp">AeroVironment</a> in Simi Valley.

[caption id="attachment_621" align="alignleft" width="200" caption="Solartaxi parked at AeroVironment - Simi Valley, CA."]<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxiav_dsc_1841.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-621" title="solartaxiav_dsc_1841" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxiav_dsc_1841-200x200.jpg" alt="Solartaxi parked at AeroVironment - Simi Valley, CA." width="200" height="200" /></a>[/caption]

The Solartaxi is a realization of one of Louis' childhood dreams : to drive a zero emissions solar powered electric car around the world. He wants to show people that solutions already exist to resolve the Global Warming crisis.  <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/mission/">Click here to read Solartaxi's mission statement</a></span>.

[caption id="attachment_632" align="alignright" width="200" caption="Solartaxi&#39;s Louis Palmer with Paul Scott on a test drive."]<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-632" title="solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902-200x200.jpg" alt="Solartaxi's Louis Palmer with PIA's Paul Scott on a test drive." width="200" height="200" /></a>[/caption]

Towards this end, the Solartaxi is a promotional vehicle and not one that is suggested we all be driving. The <span><a href="http://www.q-cells.com/">Q-Cell solar panels</a></span> mounted on the trailer towed behind the Solartaxi provide 50% of the electricity required for the journey. They're mainly along for the ride to demonstrate that photovoltaic solar technology is real and available today. They also help to ensure the vehicle can keep traveling even in remote sections of the world should they fail to find a plug for recharging.  The other 50% of the electricity required for the journey is obtained by plugging into the electrical grid en route.  In Switzerland, the Solartaxi team has created a stationary solar array to feed green power into the (global) electrical grid. <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/technology/energy-concept/">Solartaxi just extracts that greenly produced electrical energy from the grid while touring the world</a></span>. We should all support the installation of rooftop mounted PV solar to power our homes and our near-future plug-in electric vehicles.

Solartaxi has two Swiss made 14kwhr <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/technology/zebra-battery/">Zebra batteries</a></span> which are a <span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten_salt_battery">molten-salt type battery</a></span> that has an operating temperature window of 270-350degC (518-662degF). The battery is insulated in a thermos-style package to minimize heat loss and has a life of about 1000 charging cycles. Zebra batteries have an energy density of around 90Whr/kg. Solartaxi has one of these Zebra batteries in the car portion and a second is located along the axle of the photovoltaic solar panel trailer.  That gives a cummulative energy storage capacity of 28kWhrs. The Solartaxi electric drive motor powering the single rear wheel is rated at a peak of 13kW.  The Q-Cells PV solar modules produce upwards of 600 watts. To recharge the batteries solely from the rear trailer would take about 4 days.

After admiring and discussing the Solartaxi for almost an hour, Solartaxi Tour Director Louis Palmer gave a fantastic 40 minute PowerPoint presentation on his mission and adventures.   As of this summer's SoCal visit, Louis had traveled two thirds of his journey around the world. The presentation was followed by an enthusiastic EV technology discussion along with real test drives of the Solartaxi - viewable in the video below.

<em><strong>Friday November 14th, 2008 - GM Training Center - Burbank, CA</strong></em>

<strong><em> <span style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">The Honorable Nate Holden, former California State Senator and L.A. City Council Member, held a press conference demanding General Motors apologize to the American people for destroying the automaker's <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">EV1</a></span> plug-in electric vehicle.  Mr. Holden demanded the EV1's immediate re-introduction before, or in exchange for, any Government bailout of GM. </span></em></strong>

“General Motors compounded their financial woes by destroying the <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">EV1</a></span> and continued to work with the oil companies to gouge the public. It's a dishonest act on the part of General Motors.” said Holden.

This press conference was held at the very same GM facility where the <span><a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/saveev1.htm">EV1 Vigil</a></span> took place during February and March 2005. Loyal <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">GM EV1</a></span> customers tried valiantly to save 78 remaining EV1s from being <span><a href="http://www.evnut.com/ev1_crushed.htm">crushed</a></span>. Activists kept a 24/7 watch over the vehicles and offered to buy the EV1s from GM for their residual value. <span><a href="http://www.alexandrapaul.com/">Alexandra Paul</a></span> and <span><a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1665635/">Colette Divine</a></span> were arrested while peacefully protesting and making a stand against an EV1 filled GM transport semi attempting to exit the facility.   Chris Paine's film <span>"<a href="http://www.whokilledthelectricar.com">Who Killed the Electric Car ?</a>"</span> documented the <span><a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/saveev1.htm">EV1 Vigil</a></span>. Former EV1 drivers Doug Korthof and Chris Reeves attended and spoke at Holden's press conference, having each arrived in their respective plug-in EVs (<span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">2002 Toyota RAV4-EV</a></span> and <span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevy_S-10_EV">1997 GM Chevy S10 EV</a></span>).

Alex Datig (Business &amp; Public Affairs Consultant, <span><a href="http://www.highroadla.com/">HighRoad Consulting Group LLC</a></span>) let us know that Mr. Holden had a fruitful day getting the EV1 word out.  After the press conference at the GM Training Center Mr Holden went to City Hall to conduct more interviews and to speak to elected officials. He sent the story to <span><a href="http://www.kfwb.com/">KFWB News 980</a></span> and to President-elect Barack Obama.  Mr Holden had the following words for the loyal supporters of the EV1 :

"I want to thank the EV1 family for their support and encouragement for me to continue the fight to hold General Motors and other auto manufacturers' feet to the fire. As you know, today I strongly urge Congress to withhold any bailout funds from the auto industry, unless and until the industry agrees to mass-produce fuel efficiency automobiles; electric cars.

Congress should not, under any circumstances, release the bailout money to automobile manufacturers without making these demands. Without these demands, the automobile manufacturers will just continue with "business as usual," manufacturing gas-guzzlers, which would increase our dependency on the middle-east oil producing countries. This dependency must end now!

We are the advocates of the electric car family and must continue our fight to save the electric car. We must not allow Congress to backslide, or "bait and switch." At the very least, members of the electric car family demand that the conditions that were incorporated in the funding legislation of the  Billion loan package of September 2008 be adhered to.

I respectfully urge each member of the electric car family to contact Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of the United States Senate, Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and each of your local members of Congress, to let them know that any deviation on their part from the conditions of the loan approved in September will not be tolerated.

Lets keep the pressure on!"

Nate Holden
California State Senate, ret.
Los Angeles City Council, ret.

Hon. Nate Holden's next press conference on the EV1 will be held on Wednesday, November 19, 2008 at 10:00 AM at the <span><a href="http://www.laautoshow.com/">LA Auto Show</a></span> (<span><a href="http://www.lacclink.com/">LA Convention Center</a></span> - Pavilion adjacent to West Entrance).

But the speeches were the real highlight of the evening, delivered from a roof top overlooking the partygoers.  Host <a href="http://www.papercutfilms.com/about/#chris">Chris Paine</a> discussed his recent trip to Detroit for the pre-production GM Chevy Volt unveiling and describing how surreal it was to have the Chevy Volt parked in his backyard for this memorable party. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelsea_Sexton">Chelsea Sexton</a> followed with another eloquent summary of Plug In America's humble grassroots beginnings.   Plug In America's president <a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/about-us/our-team.html">Linda Nicholes</a> and board member <a href="http://www.alexandrapaul.com/">Alexandra Paul</a> gave a surprise thank you to two dedicated PIA volunteers. Renowned auto journalist <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/writers/dan-neil">Dan Neil</a> of the LA Times delivered a rave review of the GM Chevy Volt - and some of his trademark wit. And lastly, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Woolsey">James Woolsey</a> summarized the vital national security requirement for our nation to embrace, develop, and deploy plug-in electric vehicles.

The party also featured a silent auction for green and EV related items, including a <a href="http://www.duffyboats.com/">Duffy Electric Boat</a> rental, a <a href="http://www.zeromotorcycles.com/">2009 Zero X Electric Motorcycle</a>, and a beautiful blue <a href="http://www.vectrixusa.com/">2008 Vectrix Electric Maxi-Scooter</a> (from <a href="http://www.delamo-motorsports.com/">Delamo Motorsports</a> in Redondo Beach). <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/vectrix/ElectricMaxi-Scooter/2007.03.16VectrixDemo/VectrixDemo.html">Click here to see my Vectrix Electric Maxi-Scooter</a> coverage from March 2007.

Thanks go out to Plug In America Managing Director Jeanne Trombly, event organizer Nicole Landers, sustainability champion and solar chef extraordinaire <a href="http://action.pluginamerica.org/blastContent.jsp?email_blast_KEY=1119095&amp;t=#article4">Cathy Lam</a>, and all the other volunteers who made Plug In America's first fundraiser such a success!

One of our favorite guests from our shoot in Iceland, Bill Dube and his <a href="http://www.killacycle.com/">KillaCycle</a> Team, made headlines this past week in Colorado with a new EV world speed record.

On Thursday October 23rd, 2008, Team <a href="http://www.killacycle.com/">KillaCycle</a> set their latest drag racing world record at <a href="http://www.bandimere.com/">Bandimere Raceway</a>. Rider Scotty Pollacheck piloted the wickedly fast all electric <a href="http://www.a123systems.com/">A123Systems</a> NanoPhosphate battery powered motorcycle down the quarter mile in only 7.89 seconds, ending with a top speed of 168 MPH.

Scotty's run qualifies as a new official <a href="http://www.nedra.com/">NEDRA</a> (National Electric Drag Racing Association) record, vaulting the KillaCycle into the history books as the world's quickest quarter mile electric vehicle of any kind.

The KillaCycle's A123Systems battery pack is comprised of 1,210 type <a href="http://www.a123systems.com/#/products/p1">ANR26650M1</a> cells arranged to deliver 375 VDC. The motorcycle's Hi-Torque Electric motor was adjusted to draw 1850 amps for this particular run.

<em><strong>Friday November 14th, 2008 - GM Training Center - Burbank, CA</strong></em>

<strong><em> <span style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">The Honorable Nate Holden, former California State Senator and L.A. City Council Member, held a press conference demanding General Motors apologize to the American people for destroying the automaker's <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">EV1</a></span> plug-in electric vehicle.  Mr. Holden demanded the EV1's immediate re-introduction before, or in exchange for, any Government bailout of GM. </span></em></strong>

“General Motors compounded their financial woes by destroying the <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">EV1</a></span> and continued to work with the oil companies to gouge the public. It's a dishonest act on the part of General Motors.” said Holden.

This press conference was held at the very same GM facility where the <span><a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/saveev1.htm">EV1 Vigil</a></span> took place during February and March 2005. Loyal <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">GM EV1</a></span> customers tried valiantly to save 78 remaining EV1s from being <span><a href="http://www.evnut.com/ev1_crushed.htm">crushed</a></span>. Activists kept a 24/7 watch over the vehicles and offered to buy the EV1s from GM for their residual value. <span><a href="http://www.alexandrapaul.com/">Alexandra Paul</a></span> and <span><a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1665635/">Colette Divine</a></span> were arrested while peacefully protesting and making a stand against an EV1 filled GM transport semi attempting to exit the facility.   Chris Paine's film <span>"<a href="http://www.whokilledthelectricar.com">Who Killed the Electric Car ?</a>"</span> documented the <span><a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/saveev1.htm">EV1 Vigil</a></span>. Former EV1 drivers Doug Korthof and Chris Reeves attended and spoke at Holden's press conference, having each arrived in their respective plug-in EVs (<span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">2002 Toyota RAV4-EV</a></span> and <span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevy_S-10_EV">1997 GM Chevy S10 EV</a></span>).

Alex Datig (Business &amp; Public Affairs Consultant, <span><a href="http://www.highroadla.com/">HighRoad Consulting Group LLC</a></span>) let us know that Mr. Holden had a fruitful day getting the EV1 word out.  After the press conference at the GM Training Center Mr Holden went to City Hall to conduct more interviews and to speak to elected officials. He sent the story to <span><a href="http://www.kfwb.com/">KFWB News 980</a></span> and to President-elect Barack Obama.  Mr Holden had the following words for the loyal supporters of the EV1 :

"I want to thank the EV1 family for their support and encouragement for me to continue the fight to hold General Motors and other auto manufacturers' feet to the fire. As you know, today I strongly urge Congress to withhold any bailout funds from the auto industry, unless and until the industry agrees to mass-produce fuel efficiency automobiles; electric cars.

Congress should not, under any circumstances, release the bailout money to automobile manufacturers without making these demands. Without these demands, the automobile manufacturers will just continue with "business as usual," manufacturing gas-guzzlers, which would increase our dependency on the middle-east oil producing countries. This dependency must end now!

We are the advocates of the electric car family and must continue our fight to save the electric car. We must not allow Congress to backslide, or "bait and switch." At the very least, members of the electric car family demand that the conditions that were incorporated in the funding legislation of the $25 Billion loan package of September 2008 be adhered to.

I respectfully urge each member of the electric car family to contact Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of the United States Senate, Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and each of your local members of Congress, to let them know that any deviation on their part from the conditions of the loan approved in September will not be tolerated.

Lets keep the pressure on!"

Nate Holden
California State Senate, ret.
Los Angeles City Council, ret.

Hon. Nate Holden's next press conference on the EV1 will be held on Wednesday, November 19, 2008 at 10:00 AM at the <span><a href="http://www.laautoshow.com/">LA Auto Show</a></span> (<span><a href="http://www.lacclink.com/">LA Convention Center</a></span> - Pavilion adjacent to West Entrance).

<p>Last week I was notified by <a href="http://www.cleanfuelconnection.com/">Clean Fuel Connection</a> (the company contracted by MINI to deploy the MINI E specific <a href="http://www.clippercreek.net/">Clipper Creek</a> charge stations) that they would be conducting an initial site inspection of my garage and electrical service to insure I could support a <a href="http://www.minispace.com/en_us/projects/electric-mini-e/">MINI E</a>, <b>ampicillin dilution</b>.  <b>Bla ampicillin</b>,   On Wednesday, March 11th, <b>ampicillin msds</b>, <b>Molecular weight of ampicillin</b>, 2009, at 1:30pm I met with a very friendly Paul Jette of Sunpower Electrical, <b>pharmacokinetics of ampicillin</b>, <b>Ampicillin spectrum</b>, the electrical contractor assigned to do the actual charge station install.  He inspected and took some photos of my 200Amp main electrical utility panel, <b>ampicillin contraindications</b>, <b>Binotal ampicillin</b>, and the garage space where the Clipper Creek MINI E charge station will be installed.  <b>Lb ampicillin</b>,  A couple of years ago I had upgraded my electrical distribution system when I self-installed a 4kW Photovoltaic system with the knowledge that plug-in EVs would soon be in my driving future. My electrical cleanup resulted in a very neat and sparsely populated main panel, <b>ampicillin uses</b>, <b>Ampicillin brand name</b>, as I offloaded all individual circuits to a couple of subpanels.  A majority of residences' main electrical utility panel is their only panel, <b>ampicillin satellite colonies</b>, <b>Ampicillin synthesis</b>, and many times it is completely stuffed with breakers and wiring, with no room for additional expansion, <b>ampicillin production</b>.  <b>Ampicillin tr 500 mg</b>,  This is a result many times of the initial builder trying to save a few $$ and installing a less expensive panel.  Generally, <b>ampicillin satellite colonies</b>, <b>Ampicillin sensitivity</b>, the cost of the electrical panel is "in the noise" (negligible), where the the majority of the cost of any electrical work is in the labor, <b>stability of ampicillin</b>.</p>

<p>Paul and I discussed the Clipper Creek charge station during his visit, <b>lb ampicillin</b>.  It is to be protected by a 60amp feed breaker installed at the main panel.  Paul confirmed the location I had already selected for mounting of the charge station to be ideal.  I learned I was Paul's 3rd MINI E initial site visit that day.  These were his very first visits in the MINI E deployment program.</p>
<p>While MINI is picking up the tab for any and all electrical work required to install the <a href="http://www.clippercreek.net/">Clipper Creek</a> <b>Lb ampicillin</b>, charge station, being an engineer  I have the desire to install a kilowatt-hour meter ahead of the charge station to log EV charging kW/hrs.  This self-imposed requirement means the charge station install by MINI at my house will be one of their simplest, as they just need to connect the charge station a few feet directly to the pre-installed and wired <a href="http://www.milbankmfg.com/">Milbank</a> kilowatt-hour meter box I'll already have in place.  I'm looking forward to a callback from Clean Fuel Connection once they are ready to send out the Clipper Creek charge station for installation.</p>

<p>Hasner’s electric car tax break gets boost</p>
<p>Posted by Josh Hafenbrack at 9:50 AM 2009.03.10</p>
<p>The Legislature is taking a step toward giving a Sunshine State boost to the next generation of automobiles: electric-powered cars, <b>ampicillin plate</b>.</p>
<p>An effort led by House Majority Leader Adam Hasner, <b>ampicillin msds</b>, <b>Ampicillin antibiotic resistance</b>, R-Boca Raton, to give a sales tax exemption to consumers who buy battery-powered, <b>ampicillin anhydrous</b>, <b>Ampicillin reconstitution</b>, electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids picked up a unanimous endorsement today.</p>
<p>The measure also would set aside 0, <b>sigma ampicillin</b>, <b>Kanamycin ampicillin</b>, 000 to provide incentives to build 100 charging stations throughout the state, since electric cars usually only last from 40 miles to 100 miles between charges, <b>lb broth ampicillin</b>.  <b>Ampicillin oral</b>, Today, electric vehicles and plug-in cars are a niche product, <b>uses for ampicillin</b>.  <b>Ampicillin brand name</b>, There are just 100 plug-ins on the road on Florida.  <b>Ampicillin plate</b>, But the electric car is coming – if a little slowly. The federal Energy Department has  billion to loan to companies to produce a new breed of electric cars, <b>ampicillin solubility</b>.  <b>Ampicillin history</b>, So far, none of the money has been doled out, <b>ampicillin administration</b>, <b>Binotal ampicillin</b>, but 75 companies, including three Detroit auto manufacturers, <b>ampicillin trade name</b>, <b>Ampicillin tr</b>, have submitted applications, according to the New York Times.</p>
<p>The federal stimulus bill also provides a ,500 tax credit for consumers who purchase plug-in vehicles.</p>
<p>One example is the much-publicized Chevy Volt, a plug-in hybrid due out in 2010 that ailing General Motors is staking its future on.  Ford is rolling out an electric four-door sedan in 2011 and Toyota plans to bring an electric car to showrooms in 2012, <b>ampicillin plate</b>.</p>
<p>“This is a chance for Florida to take the lead in the electric car movement,” Hasner said.</p>
<p>The electric car bill (HB879) would exempt sales of electric vehicles from the state’s 6-cent sales tax and provide a ,000 corporate tax credit to companies that have more than 10 electric or plug-in vehicles in their fleets.</p>
<p>In addition, consumers and businesses would be eligible for a ,000 rebate after converting a gasoline-powered vehicle to a plug-in.</p>
<p>As the House Energy and Utilities Committee gave its stamp of approval to the measure, Hasner is planning a showing of “Who Killed the Electric Car?” to legislators tonight at the Tallahassee IMAX theatre. During the fall campaign, Hasner drove a leased 2002 all-electric Toyota RAV-4 throughout his south Palm Beach-Broward county district — when gas was at its -a-gallon peak. “I drove by the gas station with a smile every single day, because I was using an electric car that didn’t use any gas,” he said.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Last Thursday, I flipped on the KTLA 5 news around 10:30pm, while grabbing a late dinner, and caught a <a href="http://www.fiskerautomotive.com/">Fisker Automotive</a> Karma ad...on TV!  I was caught completely and pleasantly by surprise seeing this great ad, as I don't think we've yet seen any other EV/PHEV specific ads from any of the smaller start-ups.

Justifying the cost of TV ads could be difficult, but has the positive effect of alerting the general population - most of which are not closely following the EV movement - to realize EVs/PHEVs are happening.

I was able to find the <a href="http://www.fiskerautomotive.com/">Fisker Automotive</a> Karma ad that ran during the KTLA pre-show
broadcast of the Academy Awards (2009.02.22), <strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJlhcBotQ7w&amp;fmt=18">archived on YouTube</a></strong> for those that have not yet seen it:

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[We have TWO reports from guest bloggers who attended the <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a> in the Wild EVent Thursday night at Smooth's Sports Grille in Long Beach, CA.  Also embedded below is a recent Aptera 2e demo ride video (with founder Steve Fambro) from the <a href="http://www.ted.com/">2009 TED conference</a> (held in Long Beach, CA) recently uploaded by Aptera forum member Josh.

<strong><em>Guest Blogger - Jenean Smith</em></strong>
It was a rainy night but I decided to jump in my car and see the new <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a> in person tonight in Long Beach. None of the usual suspects were there, (no one I recognized at least), which is a good sign that more and more people are interested in EVs. It's a very sleek car indeed and now with front wheel drive -- like something from a Doctor Who episode transported into the future and modernized for 2009.

<strong><em>Guest Blogger - Jim Hannigan</em></strong>
<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/20090205aptera-smooths.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1632 alignright" title="20090205aptera-smooths" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/20090205aptera-smooths.jpg" alt="20090205aptera-smooths" width="298" height="224" /></a>I went by Smooth's on my way home from work. The Aptera was parked in the restaurant's sidewalk seating area that in the winter is roofed over and enclosed with vinyl fabric. 25 or 30 people were there along with another eight or so Aptera employees as identified by their logo shirts. There was no organized presentation while I was there, but the vehicle could be touched, photographed (I only had a cellphone) and at least for a while some were allowed to sit in it.

I was not aware that this was the first time an Aptera had been shown in public. Several of those in attendance excitedly recited their reservation numbers.

I was told the car was a driveable pre-production unit and that some features would be changed. This one had the rear quarter windows and outside mirrors but not the opening door windows shown on the website. Aptera used it for VIP rides at the TED conference earlier in the day (supposedly including Tesla founder Martin Eberhard).

Questions on battery specifics, observed range, powertrain details etc. were all left TBA.

The vehicle is striking in appearance and was very well finished inside and out. The interior, controls and switches all seemed production grade. Exceptions were the A/C air vents which were complex and delicate looking plastic pieces that I was cautioned not to touch.

The car looks small but is dimensionally large; nearly 15 feet long and over 7 feet wide across the outboard front wheels. The aero tail is relatively high but the front looks very low. I was initially surprised at the small size of the manufacturer's license plate on the car until I remembered the Aptera is classed as a motorcycle. I would have liked to have seen the car on the street around other cars for perspective.

The car was powered up to the extent that the flat-panel dash, Nav displays, parking and brake lights worked. I was able to get a few seconds in the driver's seat. The seats were comfortable, but not deeply contoured. Footwells seemed wide, and head and legroom were good. Front visibility was very good, but not so to the rear : the side mirrors were tiny and the rear window presented a small aperture a long way back.

It is far too early for performance claims but Aptera will likely beat Tesla for eventful ingress/egress. I've owned a Lotus for years and got in and out without a problem, but I watched just about everyone else hit their heads either on the "butterfly" doors or on the doorframe or both.

From: <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a>
Subject: Aptera in the Wild

Dear Aptera Family Member,

In our last newsletter we announced that Aptera would be giving 2e test drives to attendees of the TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) conference in Long Beach. We know most of you aren't attending this exclusive event, so when Smooth's, one of Long Beach's premier night spots and sports bars, offered us an opportunity to showcase the vehicle for the rest of our followers, we seized it.

Join us 6:00pm Thursday night, Feb. 5, at Smooth's to see the vehicle in person and meet other Aptera fans. We know that this is last-minute, but we want you to know about any opportunity to see the Aptera in a public setting.

When:  6pm to 9pm Thursday, February 5, 2009
Location:  Smooth's Sports Grille, 144 Pine Avenue, Long Beach, CA 90802

Thank you,

The Aptera Team - <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera Motors</a> 2009]]></content:encoded>

Regular readers of this blog will know all about Plug in America's triumphant Inaugural EV Parade West in Santa Monica, CA a few weeks back.   Now here's a chance to enjoy some video from the event.

A final count of 77 electric vehicles and over 250 people participated in the rally and subsequent parade. All types of electric vehicles drove quietly and emission free in formation for a few miles through city streets. Plug In America's dedicated volunteers worked their magic during the few weeks leading up to this latest EVent to organize a very successful and historic green parade. EV grins were everywhere and the enthusiasm for plug-ins couldn't have been greater. Plug In America's Inaugural EV Parade West rates as one of the best plug-in EVents to date.

Click play on the below 38 minute video of Plug In America's Inaugural EV Parade West to watch 26 minutes of rally speeches and experience the parade festivities.  Thanks to <a href="http://www.viddler.com">Viddler</a>'s great contextual timeline tagging feature, you can easily skip to any speaker or portion of the video without delay.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The talented <a href="http://www.myspace.com/kristenlreeves">Kristen Reeves</a> produced this wonderful video segment on <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com">AC Propulsion</a> and their world class electric vehicle drive technology.  For the past 3 years AC Propulsion has been converting gasoline Scion xBs to 100% electric drive with their phenomenal <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/tzero/index.php">AC150gen2 electric drive system</a>.  In her video, Kristen interviews AC Propulsion President &amp; CEO Tom Gage, and legendary actor/director and longtime EV enthusiast <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000158/">Tom Hanks</a>.  Mr. Hanks purchased the very first consumer <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/ebox/index.php">eBox</a> back in 2006 and uses it as his primary vehicle for all SoCal commuting.

Kristen writes:  "Imagine taking the car you drive now, and never having to stop at a gas station ever again. AC Propulsion, has been converting gas-fueled cars to electric for two decades.  This is a piece profiling AC Propulsion's car, the <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/ebox/index.php">eBox</a>, with a special interview with Tom Hanks who owns one of these cars.  Is this the way of the future?"

In the <a href="http://www.news10.net/">News 10</a> segment <a href="http://www.evworld.com/article.cfm?storyid=152">Ed Huestis, Vacaville's Transportation Manager</a>, comments:  "Once you've driven an electric vehicle, you never want to go back to gasoline...you just don't."  Former GM EV1 owner Jerry Hobrecht and Toyota RAV4-EV owner <a href="http://www.evnut.com/">Darell Dickey</a> are also interviewed expressing their immense enthusiasm for electric drive.

Now, every major automaker is scrambling to produce an electric vehicle.  Watch the <a href="http://www.news10.net/video/default.aspx?playerId=newsmaker&amp;maven_playlistId=63762cfa11fe40643571b0d28136516c002a19f3&amp;maven_referrer=mrss&amp;maven_referralPlaylistId=63762cfa11fe40643571b0d28136516c002a19f3&amp;maven_referralObject=941648966">News 10 report</a> after the jump to learn why "No city is more ready for the return of the electric car than <a href="http://www.ci.vacaville.ca.us/">Vacaville, CA</a>."

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[[caption id="attachment_618" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Stefano readies for a Solartaxi test drive."]<a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/redirect/Solartaxi-Simi.html"><img class="size-full wp-image-618" title="stefsolartaxi_dsc_1876" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/stefsolartaxi_dsc_1876.jpg" alt="Stefano readies for a Solartaxi test drive." width="500" height="333" /></a>[/caption]

This summer Swiss visionary <span><a href="http://www.louispalmer.ch/">Louis Palmer</a></span> and his friendly team made several stops in Southern California on their global whirlwind tour with their spectacular <a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/">Solartaxi Electric Vehicle</a>.  One of the stops was at <a href="http://www.avinc.com/chargingsystems.asp">AeroVironment</a> in Simi Valley.

[caption id="attachment_621" align="alignleft" width="200" caption="Solartaxi parked at AeroVironment - Simi Valley, CA."]<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxiav_dsc_1841.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-621" title="solartaxiav_dsc_1841" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxiav_dsc_1841-200x200.jpg" alt="Solartaxi parked at AeroVironment - Simi Valley, CA." width="200" height="200" /></a>[/caption]

The Solartaxi is a realization of one of Louis' childhood dreams : to drive a zero emissions solar powered electric car around the world. He wants to show people that solutions already exist to resolve the Global Warming crisis.  <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/mission/">Click here to read Solartaxi's mission statement</a></span>.

[caption id="attachment_632" align="alignright" width="200" caption="Solartaxi&#39;s Louis Palmer with Paul Scott on a test drive."]<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-632" title="solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902-200x200.jpg" alt="Solartaxi's Louis Palmer with PIA's Paul Scott on a test drive." width="200" height="200" /></a>[/caption]

Towards this end, the Solartaxi is a promotional vehicle and not one that is suggested we all be driving. The <span><a href="http://www.q-cells.com/">Q-Cell solar panels</a></span> mounted on the trailer towed behind the Solartaxi provide 50% of the electricity required for the journey. They're mainly along for the ride to demonstrate that photovoltaic solar technology is real and available today. They also help to ensure the vehicle can keep traveling even in remote sections of the world should they fail to find a plug for recharging.  The other 50% of the electricity required for the journey is obtained by plugging into the electrical grid en route.  In Switzerland, the Solartaxi team has created a stationary solar array to feed green power into the (global) electrical grid. <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/technology/energy-concept/">Solartaxi just extracts that greenly produced electrical energy from the grid while touring the world</a></span>. We should all support the installation of rooftop mounted PV solar to power our homes and our near-future plug-in electric vehicles.

Solartaxi has two Swiss made 14kwhr <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/technology/zebra-battery/">Zebra batteries</a></span> which are a <span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten_salt_battery">molten-salt type battery</a></span> that has an operating temperature window of 270-350degC (518-662degF). The battery is insulated in a thermos-style package to minimize heat loss and has a life of about 1000 charging cycles. Zebra batteries have an energy density of around 90Whr/kg. Solartaxi has one of these Zebra batteries in the car portion and a second is located along the axle of the photovoltaic solar panel trailer.  That gives a cummulative energy storage capacity of 28kWhrs. The Solartaxi electric drive motor powering the single rear wheel is rated at a peak of 13kW.  The Q-Cells PV solar modules produce upwards of 600 watts. To recharge the batteries solely from the rear trailer would take about 4 days.

After admiring and discussing the Solartaxi for almost an hour, Solartaxi Tour Director Louis Palmer gave a fantastic 40 minute PowerPoint presentation on his mission and adventures.   As of this summer's SoCal visit, Louis had traveled two thirds of his journey around the world. The presentation was followed by an enthusiastic EV technology discussion along with real test drives of the Solartaxi - viewable in the video below.

<em><strong>Friday November 14th, 2008 - GM Training Center - Burbank, CA</strong></em>

<strong><em> <span style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">The Honorable Nate Holden, former California State Senator and L.A. City Council Member, held a press conference demanding General Motors apologize to the American people for destroying the automaker's <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">EV1</a></span> plug-in electric vehicle.  Mr. Holden demanded the EV1's immediate re-introduction before, or in exchange for, any Government bailout of GM. </span></em></strong>

“General Motors compounded their financial woes by destroying the <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">EV1</a></span> and continued to work with the oil companies to gouge the public. It's a dishonest act on the part of General Motors.” said Holden.

This press conference was held at the very same GM facility where the <span><a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/saveev1.htm">EV1 Vigil</a></span> took place during February and March 2005. Loyal <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">GM EV1</a></span> customers tried valiantly to save 78 remaining EV1s from being <span><a href="http://www.evnut.com/ev1_crushed.htm">crushed</a></span>. Activists kept a 24/7 watch over the vehicles and offered to buy the EV1s from GM for their residual value. <span><a href="http://www.alexandrapaul.com/">Alexandra Paul</a></span> and <span><a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1665635/">Colette Divine</a></span> were arrested while peacefully protesting and making a stand against an EV1 filled GM transport semi attempting to exit the facility.   Chris Paine's film <span>"<a href="http://www.whokilledthelectricar.com">Who Killed the Electric Car ?</a>"</span> documented the <span><a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/saveev1.htm">EV1 Vigil</a></span>. Former EV1 drivers Doug Korthof and Chris Reeves attended and spoke at Holden's press conference, having each arrived in their respective plug-in EVs (<span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">2002 Toyota RAV4-EV</a></span> and <span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevy_S-10_EV">1997 GM Chevy S10 EV</a></span>).

Alex Datig (Business &amp; Public Affairs Consultant, <span><a href="http://www.highroadla.com/">HighRoad Consulting Group LLC</a></span>) let us know that Mr. Holden had a fruitful day getting the EV1 word out.  After the press conference at the GM Training Center Mr Holden went to City Hall to conduct more interviews and to speak to elected officials. He sent the story to <span><a href="http://www.kfwb.com/">KFWB News 980</a></span> and to President-elect Barack Obama.  Mr Holden had the following words for the loyal supporters of the EV1 :

"I want to thank the EV1 family for their support and encouragement for me to continue the fight to hold General Motors and other auto manufacturers' feet to the fire. As you know, today I strongly urge Congress to withhold any bailout funds from the auto industry, unless and until the industry agrees to mass-produce fuel efficiency automobiles; electric cars.

Congress should not, under any circumstances, release the bailout money to automobile manufacturers without making these demands. Without these demands, the automobile manufacturers will just continue with "business as usual," manufacturing gas-guzzlers, which would increase our dependency on the middle-east oil producing countries. This dependency must end now!

We are the advocates of the electric car family and must continue our fight to save the electric car. We must not allow Congress to backslide, or "bait and switch." At the very least, members of the electric car family demand that the conditions that were incorporated in the funding legislation of the  Billion loan package of September 2008 be adhered to.

I respectfully urge each member of the electric car family to contact Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of the United States Senate, Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and each of your local members of Congress, to let them know that any deviation on their part from the conditions of the loan approved in September will not be tolerated.

Lets keep the pressure on!"

Nate Holden
California State Senate, ret.
Los Angeles City Council, ret.

Hon. Nate Holden's next press conference on the EV1 will be held on Wednesday, November 19, 2008 at 10:00 AM at the <span><a href="http://www.laautoshow.com/">LA Auto Show</a></span> (<span><a href="http://www.lacclink.com/">LA Convention Center</a></span> - Pavilion adjacent to West Entrance).

The party was totally sold out: 250 guests and two superb electric vehicle rockstars - GM's newly released preproduction prototype <a href="http://www.chevrolet.com/electriccar/">Chevy Volt</a> and a silver <a href="http://www.teslamotors.com/">Tesla Roadster</a>. Due to parking limitations, valet parking was provided and guests were shuttled to the venue in several <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">Toyota RAV4-EVs</a> and a couple of very quick and spacious <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/acpropulsion/eBox/ebox_index.html">AC Propulsion eBoxes</a>. Chris Paine's film crew was in attendance filming the EVent.

But the speeches were the real highlight of the evening, delivered from a roof top overlooking the partygoers.  Host <a href="http://www.papercutfilms.com/about/#chris">Chris Paine</a> discussed his recent trip to Detroit for the pre-production GM Chevy Volt unveiling and describing how surreal it was to have the Chevy Volt parked in his backyard for this memorable party. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelsea_Sexton">Chelsea Sexton</a> followed with another eloquent summary of Plug In America's humble grassroots beginnings.   Plug In America's president <a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/about-us/our-team.html">Linda Nicholes</a> and board member <a href="http://www.alexandrapaul.com/">Alexandra Paul</a> gave a surprise thank you to two dedicated PIA volunteers. Renowned auto journalist <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/writers/dan-neil">Dan Neil</a> of the LA Times delivered a rave review of the GM Chevy Volt - and some of his trademark wit. And lastly, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Woolsey">James Woolsey</a> summarized the vital national security requirement for our nation to embrace, develop, and deploy plug-in electric vehicles.

The party also featured a silent auction for green and EV related items, including a <a href="http://www.duffyboats.com/">Duffy Electric Boat</a> rental, a <a href="http://www.zeromotorcycles.com/">2009 Zero X Electric Motorcycle</a>, and a beautiful blue <a href="http://www.vectrixusa.com/">2008 Vectrix Electric Maxi-Scooter</a> (from <a href="http://www.delamo-motorsports.com/">Delamo Motorsports</a> in Redondo Beach). <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/vectrix/ElectricMaxi-Scooter/2007.03.16VectrixDemo/VectrixDemo.html">Click here to see my Vectrix Electric Maxi-Scooter</a> coverage from March 2007.

One of our favorite guests from our shoot in Iceland, Bill Dube and his <a href="http://www.killacycle.com/">KillaCycle</a> Team, made headlines this past week in Colorado with a new EV world speed record.

On Thursday October 23rd, 2008, Team <a href="http://www.killacycle.com/">KillaCycle</a> set their latest drag racing world record at <a href="http://www.bandimere.com/">Bandimere Raceway</a>. Rider Scotty Pollacheck piloted the wickedly fast all electric <a href="http://www.a123systems.com/">A123Systems</a> NanoPhosphate battery powered motorcycle down the quarter mile in only 7.89 seconds, ending with a top speed of 168 MPH.

Scotty's run qualifies as a new official <a href="http://www.nedra.com/">NEDRA</a> (National Electric Drag Racing Association) record, vaulting the KillaCycle into the history books as the world's quickest quarter mile electric vehicle of any kind.

The KillaCycle's A123Systems battery pack is comprised of 1,210 type <a href="http://www.a123systems.com/#/products/p1">ANR26650M1</a> cells arranged to deliver 375 VDC. The motorcycle's Hi-Torque Electric motor was adjusted to draw 1850 amps for this particular run.

<p>Last week I was notified by <a href="http://www.cleanfuelconnection.com/">Clean Fuel Connection</a> (the company contracted by MINI to deploy the MINI E specific <a href="http://www.clippercreek.net/">Clipper Creek</a> charge stations) that they would be conducting an initial site inspection of my garage and electrical service to insure I could support a <a href="http://www.minispace.com/en_us/projects/electric-mini-e/">MINI E</a>, <b>ampicillin dilution</b>.  <b>Bla ampicillin</b>,   On Wednesday, March 11th, <b>ampicillin msds</b>, <b>Molecular weight of ampicillin</b>, 2009, at 1:30pm I met with a very friendly Paul Jette of Sunpower Electrical, <b>pharmacokinetics of ampicillin</b>, <b>Ampicillin spectrum</b>, the electrical contractor assigned to do the actual charge station install.  He inspected and took some photos of my 200Amp main electrical utility panel, <b>ampicillin contraindications</b>, <b>Binotal ampicillin</b>, and the garage space where the Clipper Creek MINI E charge station will be installed.  <b>Lb ampicillin</b>,  A couple of years ago I had upgraded my electrical distribution system when I self-installed a 4kW Photovoltaic system with the knowledge that plug-in EVs would soon be in my driving future. My electrical cleanup resulted in a very neat and sparsely populated main panel, <b>ampicillin uses</b>, <b>Ampicillin brand name</b>, as I offloaded all individual circuits to a couple of subpanels.  A majority of residences' main electrical utility panel is their only panel, <b>ampicillin satellite colonies</b>, <b>Ampicillin synthesis</b>, and many times it is completely stuffed with breakers and wiring, with no room for additional expansion, <b>ampicillin production</b>.  <b>Ampicillin tr 500 mg</b>,  This is a result many times of the initial builder trying to save a few $$ and installing a less expensive panel.  Generally, <b>ampicillin satellite colonies</b>, <b>Ampicillin sensitivity</b>, the cost of the electrical panel is "in the noise" (negligible), where the the majority of the cost of any electrical work is in the labor, <b>stability of ampicillin</b>.</p>

<p>Paul and I discussed the Clipper Creek charge station during his visit, <b>lb ampicillin</b>.  It is to be protected by a 60amp feed breaker installed at the main panel.  Paul confirmed the location I had already selected for mounting of the charge station to be ideal.  I learned I was Paul's 3rd MINI E initial site visit that day.  These were his very first visits in the MINI E deployment program.</p>
<p>While MINI is picking up the tab for any and all electrical work required to install the <a href="http://www.clippercreek.net/">Clipper Creek</a> <b>Lb ampicillin</b>, charge station, being an engineer  I have the desire to install a kilowatt-hour meter ahead of the charge station to log EV charging kW/hrs.  This self-imposed requirement means the charge station install by MINI at my house will be one of their simplest, as they just need to connect the charge station a few feet directly to the pre-installed and wired <a href="http://www.milbankmfg.com/">Milbank</a> kilowatt-hour meter box I'll already have in place.  I'm looking forward to a callback from Clean Fuel Connection once they are ready to send out the Clipper Creek charge station for installation.</p>

<p>Hasner’s electric car tax break gets boost</p>
<p>Posted by Josh Hafenbrack at 9:50 AM 2009.03.10</p>
<p>The Legislature is taking a step toward giving a Sunshine State boost to the next generation of automobiles: electric-powered cars, <b>ampicillin plate</b>.</p>
<p>An effort led by House Majority Leader Adam Hasner, <b>ampicillin msds</b>, <b>Ampicillin antibiotic resistance</b>, R-Boca Raton, to give a sales tax exemption to consumers who buy battery-powered, <b>ampicillin anhydrous</b>, <b>Ampicillin reconstitution</b>, electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids picked up a unanimous endorsement today.</p>
<p>The measure also would set aside 0, <b>sigma ampicillin</b>, <b>Kanamycin ampicillin</b>, 000 to provide incentives to build 100 charging stations throughout the state, since electric cars usually only last from 40 miles to 100 miles between charges, <b>lb broth ampicillin</b>.  <b>Ampicillin oral</b>, Today, electric vehicles and plug-in cars are a niche product, <b>uses for ampicillin</b>.  <b>Ampicillin brand name</b>, There are just 100 plug-ins on the road on Florida.  <b>Ampicillin plate</b>, But the electric car is coming – if a little slowly. The federal Energy Department has  billion to loan to companies to produce a new breed of electric cars, <b>ampicillin solubility</b>.  <b>Ampicillin history</b>, So far, none of the money has been doled out, <b>ampicillin administration</b>, <b>Binotal ampicillin</b>, but 75 companies, including three Detroit auto manufacturers, <b>ampicillin trade name</b>, <b>Ampicillin tr</b>, have submitted applications, according to the New York Times.</p>
<p>The federal stimulus bill also provides a ,500 tax credit for consumers who purchase plug-in vehicles.</p>
<p>One example is the much-publicized Chevy Volt, a plug-in hybrid due out in 2010 that ailing General Motors is staking its future on.  Ford is rolling out an electric four-door sedan in 2011 and Toyota plans to bring an electric car to showrooms in 2012, <b>ampicillin plate</b>.</p>
<p>“This is a chance for Florida to take the lead in the electric car movement,” Hasner said.</p>
<p>The electric car bill (HB879) would exempt sales of electric vehicles from the state’s 6-cent sales tax and provide a ,000 corporate tax credit to companies that have more than 10 electric or plug-in vehicles in their fleets.</p>
<p>In addition, consumers and businesses would be eligible for a ,000 rebate after converting a gasoline-powered vehicle to a plug-in.</p>
<p>As the House Energy and Utilities Committee gave its stamp of approval to the measure, Hasner is planning a showing of “Who Killed the Electric Car?” to legislators tonight at the Tallahassee IMAX theatre. During the fall campaign, Hasner drove a leased 2002 all-electric Toyota RAV-4 throughout his south Palm Beach-Broward county district — when gas was at its -a-gallon peak. “I drove by the gas station with a smile every single day, because I was using an electric car that didn’t use any gas,” he said.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Last Thursday, I flipped on the KTLA 5 news around 10:30pm, while grabbing a late dinner, and caught a <a href="http://www.fiskerautomotive.com/">Fisker Automotive</a> Karma ad...on TV!  I was caught completely and pleasantly by surprise seeing this great ad, as I don't think we've yet seen any other EV/PHEV specific ads from any of the smaller start-ups.

Justifying the cost of TV ads could be difficult, but has the positive effect of alerting the general population - most of which are not closely following the EV movement - to realize EVs/PHEVs are happening.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[We have TWO reports from guest bloggers who attended the <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a> in the Wild EVent Thursday night at Smooth's Sports Grille in Long Beach, CA.  Also embedded below is a recent Aptera 2e demo ride video (with founder Steve Fambro) from the <a href="http://www.ted.com/">2009 TED conference</a> (held in Long Beach, CA) recently uploaded by Aptera forum member Josh.

<strong><em>Guest Blogger - Jenean Smith</em></strong>
It was a rainy night but I decided to jump in my car and see the new <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a> in person tonight in Long Beach. None of the usual suspects were there, (no one I recognized at least), which is a good sign that more and more people are interested in EVs. It's a very sleek car indeed and now with front wheel drive -- like something from a Doctor Who episode transported into the future and modernized for 2009.

<strong><em>Guest Blogger - Jim Hannigan</em></strong>
<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/20090205aptera-smooths.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1632 alignright" title="20090205aptera-smooths" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/20090205aptera-smooths.jpg" alt="20090205aptera-smooths" width="298" height="224" /></a>I went by Smooth's on my way home from work. The Aptera was parked in the restaurant's sidewalk seating area that in the winter is roofed over and enclosed with vinyl fabric. 25 or 30 people were there along with another eight or so Aptera employees as identified by their logo shirts. There was no organized presentation while I was there, but the vehicle could be touched, photographed (I only had a cellphone) and at least for a while some were allowed to sit in it.

I was not aware that this was the first time an Aptera had been shown in public. Several of those in attendance excitedly recited their reservation numbers.

I was told the car was a driveable pre-production unit and that some features would be changed. This one had the rear quarter windows and outside mirrors but not the opening door windows shown on the website. Aptera used it for VIP rides at the TED conference earlier in the day (supposedly including Tesla founder Martin Eberhard).

Questions on battery specifics, observed range, powertrain details etc. were all left TBA.

The vehicle is striking in appearance and was very well finished inside and out. The interior, controls and switches all seemed production grade. Exceptions were the A/C air vents which were complex and delicate looking plastic pieces that I was cautioned not to touch.

The car looks small but is dimensionally large; nearly 15 feet long and over 7 feet wide across the outboard front wheels. The aero tail is relatively high but the front looks very low. I was initially surprised at the small size of the manufacturer's license plate on the car until I remembered the Aptera is classed as a motorcycle. I would have liked to have seen the car on the street around other cars for perspective.

The car was powered up to the extent that the flat-panel dash, Nav displays, parking and brake lights worked. I was able to get a few seconds in the driver's seat. The seats were comfortable, but not deeply contoured. Footwells seemed wide, and head and legroom were good. Front visibility was very good, but not so to the rear : the side mirrors were tiny and the rear window presented a small aperture a long way back.

It is far too early for performance claims but Aptera will likely beat Tesla for eventful ingress/egress. I've owned a Lotus for years and got in and out without a problem, but I watched just about everyone else hit their heads either on the "butterfly" doors or on the doorframe or both.

<p style="text-align: left;"><strong><em>E-mail notification of Aptera in the Wild:</em></strong></p>

Date: Thu, 5 Feb 2009 11:36:10 -0800
From: <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a>
Subject: Aptera in the Wild

Dear Aptera Family Member,

In our last newsletter we announced that Aptera would be giving 2e test drives to attendees of the TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) conference in Long Beach. We know most of you aren't attending this exclusive event, so when Smooth's, one of Long Beach's premier night spots and sports bars, offered us an opportunity to showcase the vehicle for the rest of our followers, we seized it.

Join us 6:00pm Thursday night, Feb. 5, at Smooth's to see the vehicle in person and meet other Aptera fans. We know that this is last-minute, but we want you to know about any opportunity to see the Aptera in a public setting.

When:  6pm to 9pm Thursday, February 5, 2009
Location:  Smooth's Sports Grille, 144 Pine Avenue, Long Beach, CA 90802

Thank you,

The Aptera Team - <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera Motors</a> 2009]]></content:encoded>

Regular readers of this blog will know all about Plug in America's triumphant Inaugural EV Parade West in Santa Monica, CA a few weeks back.   Now here's a chance to enjoy some video from the event.

A final count of 77 electric vehicles and over 250 people participated in the rally and subsequent parade. All types of electric vehicles drove quietly and emission free in formation for a few miles through city streets. Plug In America's dedicated volunteers worked their magic during the few weeks leading up to this latest EVent to organize a very successful and historic green parade. EV grins were everywhere and the enthusiasm for plug-ins couldn't have been greater. Plug In America's Inaugural EV Parade West rates as one of the best plug-in EVents to date.

Click play on the below 38 minute video of Plug In America's Inaugural EV Parade West to watch 26 minutes of rally speeches and experience the parade festivities.  Thanks to <a href="http://www.viddler.com">Viddler</a>'s great contextual timeline tagging feature, you can easily skip to any speaker or portion of the video without delay.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The talented <a href="http://www.myspace.com/kristenlreeves">Kristen Reeves</a> produced this wonderful video segment on <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com">AC Propulsion</a> and their world class electric vehicle drive technology.  For the past 3 years AC Propulsion has been converting gasoline Scion xBs to 100% electric drive with their phenomenal <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/tzero/index.php">AC150gen2 electric drive system</a>.  In her video, Kristen interviews AC Propulsion President &amp; CEO Tom Gage, and legendary actor/director and longtime EV enthusiast <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000158/">Tom Hanks</a>.  Mr. Hanks purchased the very first consumer <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/ebox/index.php">eBox</a> back in 2006 and uses it as his primary vehicle for all SoCal commuting.

Kristen writes:  "Imagine taking the car you drive now, and never having to stop at a gas station ever again. AC Propulsion, has been converting gas-fueled cars to electric for two decades.  This is a piece profiling AC Propulsion's car, the <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/ebox/index.php">eBox</a>, with a special interview with Tom Hanks who owns one of these cars.  Is this the way of the future?"

In the <a href="http://www.news10.net/">News 10</a> segment <a href="http://www.evworld.com/article.cfm?storyid=152">Ed Huestis, Vacaville's Transportation Manager</a>, comments:  "Once you've driven an electric vehicle, you never want to go back to gasoline...you just don't."  Former GM EV1 owner Jerry Hobrecht and Toyota RAV4-EV owner <a href="http://www.evnut.com/">Darell Dickey</a> are also interviewed expressing their immense enthusiasm for electric drive.

Now, every major automaker is scrambling to produce an electric vehicle.  Watch the <a href="http://www.news10.net/video/default.aspx?playerId=newsmaker&amp;maven_playlistId=63762cfa11fe40643571b0d28136516c002a19f3&amp;maven_referrer=mrss&amp;maven_referralPlaylistId=63762cfa11fe40643571b0d28136516c002a19f3&amp;maven_referralObject=941648966">News 10 report</a> after the jump to learn why "No city is more ready for the return of the electric car than <a href="http://www.ci.vacaville.ca.us/">Vacaville, CA</a>."

This summer Swiss visionary <span><a href="http://www.louispalmer.ch/">Louis Palmer</a></span> and his friendly team made several stops in Southern California on their global whirlwind tour with their spectacular <a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/">Solartaxi Electric Vehicle</a>.  One of the stops was at <a href="http://www.avinc.com/chargingsystems.asp">AeroVironment</a> in Simi Valley.

[caption id="attachment_621" align="alignleft" width="200" caption="Solartaxi parked at AeroVironment - Simi Valley, CA."]<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxiav_dsc_1841.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-621" title="solartaxiav_dsc_1841" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxiav_dsc_1841-200x200.jpg" alt="Solartaxi parked at AeroVironment - Simi Valley, CA." width="200" height="200" /></a>[/caption]

The Solartaxi is a realization of one of Louis' childhood dreams : to drive a zero emissions solar powered electric car around the world. He wants to show people that solutions already exist to resolve the Global Warming crisis.  <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/mission/">Click here to read Solartaxi's mission statement</a></span>.

[caption id="attachment_632" align="alignright" width="200" caption="Solartaxi&#39;s Louis Palmer with Paul Scott on a test drive."]<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-632" title="solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902-200x200.jpg" alt="Solartaxi's Louis Palmer with PIA's Paul Scott on a test drive." width="200" height="200" /></a>[/caption]

Towards this end, the Solartaxi is a promotional vehicle and not one that is suggested we all be driving. The <span><a href="http://www.q-cells.com/">Q-Cell solar panels</a></span> mounted on the trailer towed behind the Solartaxi provide 50% of the electricity required for the journey. They're mainly along for the ride to demonstrate that photovoltaic solar technology is real and available today. They also help to ensure the vehicle can keep traveling even in remote sections of the world should they fail to find a plug for recharging.  The other 50% of the electricity required for the journey is obtained by plugging into the electrical grid en route.  In Switzerland, the Solartaxi team has created a stationary solar array to feed green power into the (global) electrical grid. <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/technology/energy-concept/">Solartaxi just extracts that greenly produced electrical energy from the grid while touring the world</a></span>. We should all support the installation of rooftop mounted PV solar to power our homes and our near-future plug-in electric vehicles.

Solartaxi has two Swiss made 14kwhr <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/technology/zebra-battery/">Zebra batteries</a></span> which are a <span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten_salt_battery">molten-salt type battery</a></span> that has an operating temperature window of 270-350degC (518-662degF). The battery is insulated in a thermos-style package to minimize heat loss and has a life of about 1000 charging cycles. Zebra batteries have an energy density of around 90Whr/kg. Solartaxi has one of these Zebra batteries in the car portion and a second is located along the axle of the photovoltaic solar panel trailer.  That gives a cummulative energy storage capacity of 28kWhrs. The Solartaxi electric drive motor powering the single rear wheel is rated at a peak of 13kW.  The Q-Cells PV solar modules produce upwards of 600 watts. To recharge the batteries solely from the rear trailer would take about 4 days.

After admiring and discussing the Solartaxi for almost an hour, Solartaxi Tour Director Louis Palmer gave a fantastic 40 minute PowerPoint presentation on his mission and adventures.   As of this summer's SoCal visit, Louis had traveled two thirds of his journey around the world. The presentation was followed by an enthusiastic EV technology discussion along with real test drives of the Solartaxi - viewable in the video below.

<strong><em> <span style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">The Honorable Nate Holden, former California State Senator and L.A.

Activists kept a 24/7 watch over the vehicles and offered to buy the EV1s from GM for their residual value. <span><a href="http://www.alexandrapaul.com/">Alexandra Paul</a></span> and <span><a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1665635/">Colette Divine</a></span> were arrested while peacefully protesting and making a stand against an EV1 filled GM transport semi attempting to exit the facility.   Chris Paine's film <span>"<a href="http://www.whokilledthelectricar.com">Who Killed the Electric Car ?</a>"</span> documented the <span><a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/saveev1.htm">EV1 Vigil</a></span>. Former EV1 drivers Doug Korthof and Chris Reeves attended and spoke at Holden's press conference, having each arrived in their respective plug-in EVs (<span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">2002 Toyota RAV4-EV</a></span> and <span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevy_S-10_EV">1997 GM Chevy S10 EV</a></span>).

Alex Datig (Business &amp; Public Affairs Consultant, <span><a href="http://www.highroadla.com/">HighRoad Consulting Group LLC</a></span>) let us know that Mr. Holden had a fruitful day getting the EV1 word out.  After the press conference at the GM Training Center Mr Holden went to City Hall to conduct more interviews and to speak to elected officials. He sent the story to <span><a href="http://www.kfwb.com/">KFWB News 980</a></span> and to President-elect Barack Obama.  Mr Holden had the following words for the loyal supporters of the EV1 :

"I want to thank the EV1 family for their support and encouragement for me to continue the fight to hold General Motors and other auto manufacturers' feet to the fire. As you know, today I strongly urge Congress to withhold any bailout funds from the auto industry, unless and until the industry agrees to mass-produce fuel efficiency automobiles; electric cars.

Congress should not, under any circumstances, release the bailout money to automobile manufacturers without making these demands. Without these demands, the automobile manufacturers will just continue with "business as usual," manufacturing gas-guzzlers, which would increase our dependency on the middle-east oil producing countries. This dependency must end now!

We are the advocates of the electric car family and must continue our fight to save the electric car. We must not allow Congress to backslide, or "bait and switch." At the very least, members of the electric car family demand that the conditions that were incorporated in the funding legislation of the  Billion loan package of September 2008 be adhered to.

I respectfully urge each member of the electric car family to contact Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of the United States Senate, Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and each of your local members of Congress, to let them know that any deviation on their part from the conditions of the loan approved in September will not be tolerated.

Lets keep the pressure on!"

Nate Holden
California State Senate, ret.
Los Angeles City Council, ret.

Hon. Nate Holden's next press conference on the EV1 will be held on Wednesday, November 19, 2008 at 10:00 AM at the <span><a href="http://www.laautoshow.com/">LA Auto Show</a></span> (<span><a href="http://www.lacclink.com/">LA Convention Center</a></span> - Pavilion adjacent to West Entrance).

The party was totally sold out: 250 guests and two superb electric vehicle rockstars - GM's newly released preproduction prototype <a href="http://www.chevrolet.com/electriccar/">Chevy Volt</a> and a silver <a href="http://www.teslamotors.com/">Tesla Roadster</a>. Due to parking limitations, valet parking was provided and guests were shuttled to the venue in several <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">Toyota RAV4-EVs</a> and a couple of very quick and spacious <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/acpropulsion/eBox/ebox_index.html">AC Propulsion eBoxes</a>. Chris Paine's film crew was in attendance filming the EVent.

But the speeches were the real highlight of the evening, delivered from a roof top overlooking the partygoers.  Host <a href="http://www.papercutfilms.com/about/#chris">Chris Paine</a> discussed his recent trip to Detroit for the pre-production GM Chevy Volt unveiling and describing how surreal it was to have the Chevy Volt parked in his backyard for this memorable party. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelsea_Sexton">Chelsea Sexton</a> followed with another eloquent summary of Plug In America's humble grassroots beginnings.   Plug In America's president <a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/about-us/our-team.html">Linda Nicholes</a> and board member <a href="http://www.alexandrapaul.com/">Alexandra Paul</a> gave a surprise thank you to two dedicated PIA volunteers. Renowned auto journalist <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/writers/dan-neil">Dan Neil</a> of the LA Times delivered a rave review of the GM Chevy Volt - and some of his trademark wit. And lastly, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Woolsey">James Woolsey</a> summarized the vital national security requirement for our nation to embrace, develop, and deploy plug-in electric vehicles.

The party also featured a silent auction for green and EV related items, including a <a href="http://www.duffyboats.com/">Duffy Electric Boat</a> rental, a <a href="http://www.zeromotorcycles.com/">2009 Zero X Electric Motorcycle</a>, and a beautiful blue <a href="http://www.vectrixusa.com/">2008 Vectrix Electric Maxi-Scooter</a> (from <a href="http://www.delamo-motorsports.com/">Delamo Motorsports</a> in Redondo Beach). <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/vectrix/ElectricMaxi-Scooter/2007.03.16VectrixDemo/VectrixDemo.html">Click here to see my Vectrix Electric Maxi-Scooter</a> coverage from March 2007.

Thanks go out to Plug In America Managing Director Jeanne Trombly, event organizer Nicole Landers, sustainability champion and solar chef extraordinaire <a href="http://action.pluginamerica.org/blastContent.jsp?email_blast_KEY=1119095&amp;t=#article4">Cathy Lam</a>, and all the other volunteers who made Plug In America's first fundraiser such a success!

One of our favorite guests from our shoot in Iceland, Bill Dube and his <a href="http://www.killacycle.com/">KillaCycle</a> Team, made headlines this past week in Colorado with a new EV world speed record.

On Thursday October 23rd, 2008, Team <a href="http://www.killacycle.com/">KillaCycle</a> set their latest drag racing world record at <a href="http://www.bandimere.com/">Bandimere Raceway</a>. Rider Scotty Pollacheck piloted the wickedly fast all electric <a href="http://www.a123systems.com/">A123Systems</a> NanoPhosphate battery powered motorcycle down the quarter mile in only 7.89 seconds, ending with a top speed of 168 MPH.

Scotty's run qualifies as a new official <a href="http://www.nedra.com/">NEDRA</a> (National Electric Drag Racing Association) record, vaulting the KillaCycle into the history books as the world's quickest quarter mile electric vehicle of any kind.

The KillaCycle's A123Systems battery pack is comprised of 1,210 type <a href="http://www.a123systems.com/#/products/p1">ANR26650M1</a> cells arranged to deliver 375 VDC. The motorcycle's Hi-Torque Electric motor was adjusted to draw 1850 amps for this particular run.

<p>Last week I was notified by <a href="http://www.cleanfuelconnection.com/">Clean Fuel Connection</a> (the company contracted by MINI to deploy the MINI E specific <a href="http://www.clippercreek.net/">Clipper Creek</a> charge stations) that they would be conducting an initial site inspection of my garage and electrical service to insure I could support a <a href="http://www.minispace.com/en_us/projects/electric-mini-e/">MINI E</a>, <b>ampicillin dilution</b>.  <b>Bla ampicillin</b>,   On Wednesday, March 11th, <b>ampicillin msds</b>, <b>Molecular weight of ampicillin</b>, 2009, at 1:30pm I met with a very friendly Paul Jette of Sunpower Electrical, <b>pharmacokinetics of ampicillin</b>, <b>Ampicillin spectrum</b>, the electrical contractor assigned to do the actual charge station install.  He inspected and took some photos of my 200Amp main electrical utility panel, <b>ampicillin contraindications</b>, <b>Binotal ampicillin</b>, and the garage space where the Clipper Creek MINI E charge station will be installed.  <b>Lb ampicillin</b>,  A couple of years ago I had upgraded my electrical distribution system when I self-installed a 4kW Photovoltaic system with the knowledge that plug-in EVs would soon be in my driving future. My electrical cleanup resulted in a very neat and sparsely populated main panel, <b>ampicillin uses</b>, <b>Ampicillin brand name</b>, as I offloaded all individual circuits to a couple of subpanels.  A majority of residences' main electrical utility panel is their only panel, <b>ampicillin satellite colonies</b>, <b>Ampicillin synthesis</b>, and many times it is completely stuffed with breakers and wiring, with no room for additional expansion, <b>ampicillin production</b>.  <b>Ampicillin tr 500 mg</b>,  This is a result many times of the initial builder trying to save a few $$ and installing a less expensive panel.  Generally, <b>ampicillin satellite colonies</b>, <b>Ampicillin sensitivity</b>, the cost of the electrical panel is "in the noise" (negligible), where the the majority of the cost of any electrical work is in the labor, <b>stability of ampicillin</b>.</p>

<p>Paul and I discussed the Clipper Creek charge station during his visit, <b>lb ampicillin</b>.  It is to be protected by a 60amp feed breaker installed at the main panel.  Paul confirmed the location I had already selected for mounting of the charge station to be ideal.  I learned I was Paul's 3rd MINI E initial site visit that day.  These were his very first visits in the MINI E deployment program.</p>
<p>While MINI is picking up the tab for any and all electrical work required to install the <a href="http://www.clippercreek.net/">Clipper Creek</a> <b>Lb ampicillin</b>, charge station, being an engineer  I have the desire to install a kilowatt-hour meter ahead of the charge station to log EV charging kW/hrs.  This self-imposed requirement means the charge station install by MINI at my house will be one of their simplest, as they just need to connect the charge station a few feet directly to the pre-installed and wired <a href="http://www.milbankmfg.com/">Milbank</a> kilowatt-hour meter box I'll already have in place.  I'm looking forward to a callback from Clean Fuel Connection once they are ready to send out the Clipper Creek charge station for installation.</p>

<p>Hasner’s electric car tax break gets boost</p>
<p>Posted by Josh Hafenbrack at 9:50 AM 2009.03.10</p>
<p>The Legislature is taking a step toward giving a Sunshine State boost to the next generation of automobiles: electric-powered cars, <b>ampicillin plate</b>.</p>
<p>An effort led by House Majority Leader Adam Hasner, <b>ampicillin msds</b>, <b>Ampicillin antibiotic resistance</b>, R-Boca Raton, to give a sales tax exemption to consumers who buy battery-powered, <b>ampicillin anhydrous</b>, <b>Ampicillin reconstitution</b>, electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids picked up a unanimous endorsement today.</p>
<p>The measure also would set aside 0, <b>sigma ampicillin</b>, <b>Kanamycin ampicillin</b>, 000 to provide incentives to build 100 charging stations throughout the state, since electric cars usually only last from 40 miles to 100 miles between charges, <b>lb broth ampicillin</b>.  <b>Ampicillin oral</b>, Today, electric vehicles and plug-in cars are a niche product, <b>uses for ampicillin</b>.  <b>Ampicillin brand name</b>, There are just 100 plug-ins on the road on Florida.  <b>Ampicillin plate</b>, But the electric car is coming – if a little slowly. The federal Energy Department has  billion to loan to companies to produce a new breed of electric cars, <b>ampicillin solubility</b>.  <b>Ampicillin history</b>, So far, none of the money has been doled out, <b>ampicillin administration</b>, <b>Binotal ampicillin</b>, but 75 companies, including three Detroit auto manufacturers, <b>ampicillin trade name</b>, <b>Ampicillin tr</b>, have submitted applications, according to the New York Times.</p>
<p>The federal stimulus bill also provides a ,500 tax credit for consumers who purchase plug-in vehicles.</p>
<p>One example is the much-publicized Chevy Volt, a plug-in hybrid due out in 2010 that ailing General Motors is staking its future on.  Ford is rolling out an electric four-door sedan in 2011 and Toyota plans to bring an electric car to showrooms in 2012, <b>ampicillin plate</b>.</p>
<p>“This is a chance for Florida to take the lead in the electric car movement,” Hasner said.</p>
<p>The electric car bill (HB879) would exempt sales of electric vehicles from the state’s 6-cent sales tax and provide a ,000 corporate tax credit to companies that have more than 10 electric or plug-in vehicles in their fleets.</p>
<p>In addition, consumers and businesses would be eligible for a ,000 rebate after converting a gasoline-powered vehicle to a plug-in.</p>
<p>As the House Energy and Utilities Committee gave its stamp of approval to the measure, Hasner is planning a showing of “Who Killed the Electric Car?” to legislators tonight at the Tallahassee IMAX theatre. During the fall campaign, Hasner drove a leased 2002 all-electric Toyota RAV-4 throughout his south Palm Beach-Broward county district — when gas was at its -a-gallon peak. “I drove by the gas station with a smile every single day, because I was using an electric car that didn’t use any gas,” he said.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Last Thursday, I flipped on the KTLA 5 news around 10:30pm, while grabbing a late dinner, and caught a <a href="http://www.fiskerautomotive.com/">Fisker Automotive</a> Karma ad...on TV!  I was caught completely and pleasantly by surprise seeing this great ad, as I don't think we've yet seen any other EV/PHEV specific ads from any of the smaller start-ups.

Justifying the cost of TV ads could be difficult, but has the positive effect of alerting the general population - most of which are not closely following the EV movement - to realize EVs/PHEVs are happening.

I was able to find the <a href="http://www.fiskerautomotive.com/">Fisker Automotive</a> Karma ad that ran during the KTLA pre-show
broadcast of the Academy Awards (2009.02.22), <strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJlhcBotQ7w&amp;fmt=18">archived on YouTube</a></strong> for those that have not yet seen it:

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[We have TWO reports from guest bloggers who attended the <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a> in the Wild EVent Thursday night at Smooth's Sports Grille in Long Beach, CA.  Also embedded below is a recent Aptera 2e demo ride video (with founder Steve Fambro) from the <a href="http://www.ted.com/">2009 TED conference</a> (held in Long Beach, CA) recently uploaded by Aptera forum member Josh.

<strong><em>Guest Blogger - Jenean Smith</em></strong>
It was a rainy night but I decided to jump in my car and see the new <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a> in person tonight in Long Beach. None of the usual suspects were there, (no one I recognized at least), which is a good sign that more and more people are interested in EVs. It's a very sleek car indeed and now with front wheel drive -- like something from a Doctor Who episode transported into the future and modernized for 2009.

<strong><em>Guest Blogger - Jim Hannigan</em></strong>
<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/20090205aptera-smooths.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1632 alignright" title="20090205aptera-smooths" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/20090205aptera-smooths.jpg" alt="20090205aptera-smooths" width="298" height="224" /></a>I went by Smooth's on my way home from work. The Aptera was parked in the restaurant's sidewalk seating area that in the winter is roofed over and enclosed with vinyl fabric. 25 or 30 people were there along with another eight or so Aptera employees as identified by their logo shirts. There was no organized presentation while I was there, but the vehicle could be touched, photographed (I only had a cellphone) and at least for a while some were allowed to sit in it.

I was not aware that this was the first time an Aptera had been shown in public. Several of those in attendance excitedly recited their reservation numbers.

I was told the car was a driveable pre-production unit and that some features would be changed. This one had the rear quarter windows and outside mirrors but not the opening door windows shown on the website. Aptera used it for VIP rides at the TED conference earlier in the day (supposedly including Tesla founder Martin Eberhard).

Questions on battery specifics, observed range, powertrain details etc. were all left TBA.

The vehicle is striking in appearance and was very well finished inside and out. The interior, controls and switches all seemed production grade. Exceptions were the A/C air vents which were complex and delicate looking plastic pieces that I was cautioned not to touch.

The car looks small but is dimensionally large; nearly 15 feet long and over 7 feet wide across the outboard front wheels. The aero tail is relatively high but the front looks very low. I was initially surprised at the small size of the manufacturer's license plate on the car until I remembered the Aptera is classed as a motorcycle. I would have liked to have seen the car on the street around other cars for perspective.

The car was powered up to the extent that the flat-panel dash, Nav displays, parking and brake lights worked. I was able to get a few seconds in the driver's seat. The seats were comfortable, but not deeply contoured. Footwells seemed wide, and head and legroom were good. Front visibility was very good, but not so to the rear : the side mirrors were tiny and the rear window presented a small aperture a long way back.

It is far too early for performance claims but Aptera will likely beat Tesla for eventful ingress/egress. I've owned a Lotus for years and got in and out without a problem, but I watched just about everyone else hit their heads either on the "butterfly" doors or on the doorframe or both.

From: <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera</a>
Subject: Aptera in the Wild

Dear Aptera Family Member,

In our last newsletter we announced that Aptera would be giving 2e test drives to attendees of the TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) conference in Long Beach. We know most of you aren't attending this exclusive event, so when Smooth's, one of Long Beach's premier night spots and sports bars, offered us an opportunity to showcase the vehicle for the rest of our followers, we seized it.

Join us 6:00pm Thursday night, Feb. 5, at Smooth's to see the vehicle in person and meet other Aptera fans. We know that this is last-minute, but we want you to know about any opportunity to see the Aptera in a public setting.

When:  6pm to 9pm Thursday, February 5, 2009
Location:  Smooth's Sports Grille, 144 Pine Avenue, Long Beach, CA 90802

Thank you,

The Aptera Team - <a href="http://www.aptera.com/">Aptera Motors</a> 2009]]></content:encoded>

Regular readers of this blog will know all about Plug in America's triumphant Inaugural EV Parade West in Santa Monica, CA a few weeks back.   Now here's a chance to enjoy some video from the event.

A final count of 77 electric vehicles and over 250 people participated in the rally and subsequent parade. All types of electric vehicles drove quietly and emission free in formation for a few miles through city streets. Plug In America's dedicated volunteers worked their magic during the few weeks leading up to this latest EVent to organize a very successful and historic green parade. EV grins were everywhere and the enthusiasm for plug-ins couldn't have been greater. Plug In America's Inaugural EV Parade West rates as one of the best plug-in EVents to date.

Click play on the below 38 minute video of Plug In America's Inaugural EV Parade West to watch 26 minutes of rally speeches and experience the parade festivities.  Thanks to <a href="http://www.viddler.com">Viddler</a>'s great contextual timeline tagging feature, you can easily skip to any speaker or portion of the video without delay.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The talented <a href="http://www.myspace.com/kristenlreeves">Kristen Reeves</a> produced this wonderful video segment on <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com">AC Propulsion</a> and their world class electric vehicle drive technology.  For the past 3 years AC Propulsion has been converting gasoline Scion xBs to 100% electric drive with their phenomenal <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/tzero/index.php">AC150gen2 electric drive system</a>.  In her video, Kristen interviews AC Propulsion President &amp; CEO Tom Gage, and legendary actor/director and longtime EV enthusiast <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000158/">Tom Hanks</a>.  Mr. Hanks purchased the very first consumer <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/ebox/index.php">eBox</a> back in 2006 and uses it as his primary vehicle for all SoCal commuting.

Kristen writes:  "Imagine taking the car you drive now, and never having to stop at a gas station ever again. AC Propulsion, has been converting gas-fueled cars to electric for two decades.  This is a piece profiling AC Propulsion's car, the <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/ebox/index.php">eBox</a>, with a special interview with Tom Hanks who owns one of these cars.  Is this the way of the future?"

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Sacramento's <a href="http://www.news10.net/">News 10</a> reports on the electric cars of <a href="http://www.ci.vacaville.ca.us/">Vacaville, CA</a>.  In 2003 Vacaville, also known as <a href="http://www.fleetmag.com/print/Fleet-Maintenance/Welcome-to-Voltageville/109">Voltageville</a>, was miles ahead of other cities with over 100 electric cars on the road in both <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">GM EV1</a>s and <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">Toyota RAV4-EV</a>s.  The California Air Resources Board's <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2008.03.26PIArallyCARB/2008.03.26PIArallyCARB.html">1990 Zero Emissions Vehicle mandate</a> would have required 10% of all vehicles sold in California to be zero emissions.  But the <a href="http://www.arb.ca.gov">CARB</a> ZEV mandate was rescinded in 2003 due to pressure from the automakers.  It resulted in the confiscation of the majority of EVs which had only been available under lease.

In the <a href="http://www.news10.net/">News 10</a> segment <a href="http://www.evworld.com/article.cfm?storyid=152">Ed Huestis, Vacaville's Transportation Manager</a>, comments:  "Once you've driven an electric vehicle, you never want to go back to gasoline...you just don't."  Former GM EV1 owner Jerry Hobrecht and Toyota RAV4-EV owner <a href="http://www.evnut.com/">Darell Dickey</a> are also interviewed expressing their immense enthusiasm for electric drive.

Now, every major automaker is scrambling to produce an electric vehicle.  Watch the <a href="http://www.news10.net/video/default.aspx?playerId=newsmaker&amp;maven_playlistId=63762cfa11fe40643571b0d28136516c002a19f3&amp;maven_referrer=mrss&amp;maven_referralPlaylistId=63762cfa11fe40643571b0d28136516c002a19f3&amp;maven_referralObject=941648966">News 10 report</a> after the jump to learn why "No city is more ready for the return of the electric car than <a href="http://www.ci.vacaville.ca.us/">Vacaville, CA</a>."

This summer Swiss visionary <span><a href="http://www.louispalmer.ch/">Louis Palmer</a></span> and his friendly team made several stops in Southern California on their global whirlwind tour with their spectacular <a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/">Solartaxi Electric Vehicle</a>.  One of the stops was at <a href="http://www.avinc.com/chargingsystems.asp">AeroVironment</a> in Simi Valley.

[caption id="attachment_621" align="alignleft" width="200" caption="Solartaxi parked at AeroVironment - Simi Valley, CA."]<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxiav_dsc_1841.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-621" title="solartaxiav_dsc_1841" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxiav_dsc_1841-200x200.jpg" alt="Solartaxi parked at AeroVironment - Simi Valley, CA." width="200" height="200" /></a>[/caption]

The Solartaxi is a realization of one of Louis' childhood dreams : to drive a zero emissions solar powered electric car around the world. He wants to show people that solutions already exist to resolve the Global Warming crisis.  <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/mission/">Click here to read Solartaxi's mission statement</a></span>.

[caption id="attachment_632" align="alignright" width="200" caption="Solartaxi&#39;s Louis Palmer with Paul Scott on a test drive."]<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-632" title="solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/solartaxilouispalmer_dsc_1902-200x200.jpg" alt="Solartaxi's Louis Palmer with PIA's Paul Scott on a test drive." width="200" height="200" /></a>[/caption]

Towards this end, the Solartaxi is a promotional vehicle and not one that is suggested we all be driving. The <span><a href="http://www.q-cells.com/">Q-Cell solar panels</a></span> mounted on the trailer towed behind the Solartaxi provide 50% of the electricity required for the journey. They're mainly along for the ride to demonstrate that photovoltaic solar technology is real and available today. They also help to ensure the vehicle can keep traveling even in remote sections of the world should they fail to find a plug for recharging.  The other 50% of the electricity required for the journey is obtained by plugging into the electrical grid en route.  In Switzerland, the Solartaxi team has created a stationary solar array to feed green power into the (global) electrical grid. <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/technology/energy-concept/">Solartaxi just extracts that greenly produced electrical energy from the grid while touring the world</a></span>. We should all support the installation of rooftop mounted PV solar to power our homes and our near-future plug-in electric vehicles.

Solartaxi has two Swiss made 14kwhr <span><a href="http://www.solartaxi.com/technology/zebra-battery/">Zebra batteries</a></span> which are a <span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten_salt_battery">molten-salt type battery</a></span> that has an operating temperature window of 270-350degC (518-662degF). The battery is insulated in a thermos-style package to minimize heat loss and has a life of about 1000 charging cycles. Zebra batteries have an energy density of around 90Whr/kg. Solartaxi has one of these Zebra batteries in the car portion and a second is located along the axle of the photovoltaic solar panel trailer.  That gives a cummulative energy storage capacity of 28kWhrs. The Solartaxi electric drive motor powering the single rear wheel is rated at a peak of 13kW.  The Q-Cells PV solar modules produce upwards of 600 watts. To recharge the batteries solely from the rear trailer would take about 4 days.

After admiring and discussing the Solartaxi for almost an hour, Solartaxi Tour Director Louis Palmer gave a fantastic 40 minute PowerPoint presentation on his mission and adventures.   As of this summer's SoCal visit, Louis had traveled two thirds of his journey around the world. The presentation was followed by an enthusiastic EV technology discussion along with real test drives of the Solartaxi - viewable in the video below.

City Council Member, held a press conference demanding General Motors apologize to the American people for destroying the automaker's <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">EV1</a></span> plug-in electric vehicle.  Mr. Holden demanded the EV1's immediate re-introduction before, or in exchange for, any Government bailout of GM. </span></em></strong>

“General Motors compounded their financial woes by destroying the <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">EV1</a></span> and continued to work with the oil companies to gouge the public. It's a dishonest act on the part of General Motors.” said Holden.

This press conference was held at the very same GM facility where the <span><a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/saveev1.htm">EV1 Vigil</a></span> took place during February and March 2005. Loyal <span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">GM EV1</a></span> customers tried valiantly to save 78 remaining EV1s from being <span><a href="http://www.evnut.com/ev1_crushed.htm">crushed</a></span>. Activists kept a 24/7 watch over the vehicles and offered to buy the EV1s from GM for their residual value. <span><a href="http://www.alexandrapaul.com/">Alexandra Paul</a></span> and <span><a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1665635/">Colette Divine</a></span> were arrested while peacefully protesting and making a stand against an EV1 filled GM transport semi attempting to exit the facility.   Chris Paine's film <span>"<a href="http://www.whokilledthelectricar.com">Who Killed the Electric Car ?</a>"</span> documented the <span><a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/saveev1.htm">EV1 Vigil</a></span>. Former EV1 drivers Doug Korthof and Chris Reeves attended and spoke at Holden's press conference, having each arrived in their respective plug-in EVs (<span><a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">2002 Toyota RAV4-EV</a></span> and <span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevy_S-10_EV">1997 GM Chevy S10 EV</a></span>).

Alex Datig (Business &amp; Public Affairs Consultant, <span><a href="http://www.highroadla.com/">HighRoad Consulting Group LLC</a></span>) let us know that Mr. Holden had a fruitful day getting the EV1 word out.  After the press conference at the GM Training Center Mr Holden went to City Hall to conduct more interviews and to speak to elected officials. He sent the story to <span><a href="http://www.kfwb.com/">KFWB News 980</a></span> and to President-elect Barack Obama.  Mr Holden had the following words for the loyal supporters of the EV1 :

"I want to thank the EV1 family for their support and encouragement for me to continue the fight to hold General Motors and other auto manufacturers' feet to the fire. As you know, today I strongly urge Congress to withhold any bailout funds from the auto industry, unless and until the industry agrees to mass-produce fuel efficiency automobiles; electric cars.

Congress should not, under any circumstances, release the bailout money to automobile manufacturers without making these demands. Without these demands, the automobile manufacturers will just continue with "business as usual," manufacturing gas-guzzlers, which would increase our dependency on the middle-east oil producing countries. This dependency must end now!

We are the advocates of the electric car family and must continue our fight to save the electric car. We must not allow Congress to backslide, or "bait and switch." At the very least, members of the electric car family demand that the conditions that were incorporated in the funding legislation of the  Billion loan package of September 2008 be adhered to.

I respectfully urge each member of the electric car family to contact Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of the United States Senate, Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and each of your local members of Congress, to let them know that any deviation on their part from the conditions of the loan approved in September will not be tolerated.

Lets keep the pressure on!"

California State Senate, ret.
Los Angeles City Council, ret.

Hon. Nate Holden's next press conference on the EV1 will be held on Wednesday, November 19, 2008 at 10:00 AM at the <span><a href="http://www.laautoshow.com/">LA Auto Show</a></span> (<span><a href="http://www.lacclink.com/">LA Convention Center</a></span> - Pavilion adjacent to West Entrance).

The party was totally sold out: 250 guests and two superb electric vehicle rockstars - GM's newly released preproduction prototype <a href="http://www.chevrolet.com/electriccar/">Chevy Volt</a> and a silver <a href="http://www.teslamotors.com/">Tesla Roadster</a>. Due to parking limitations, valet parking was provided and guests were shuttled to the venue in several <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/WhyWeNeedPlugIns/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV/2006.10.17LADWP-Rav4EV.html">Toyota RAV4-EVs</a> and a couple of very quick and spacious <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/acpropulsion/eBox/ebox_index.html">AC Propulsion eBoxes</a>. Chris Paine's film crew was in attendance filming the EVent.

But the speeches were the real highlight of the evening, delivered from a roof top overlooking the partygoers.  Host <a href="http://www.papercutfilms.com/about/#chris">Chris Paine</a> discussed his recent trip to Detroit for the pre-production GM Chevy Volt unveiling and describing how surreal it was to have the Chevy Volt parked in his backyard for this memorable party. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelsea_Sexton">Chelsea Sexton</a> followed with another eloquent summary of Plug In America's humble grassroots beginnings.   Plug In America's president <a href="http://www.pluginamerica.org/about-us/our-team.html">Linda Nicholes</a> and board member <a href="http://www.alexandrapaul.com/">Alexandra Paul</a> gave a surprise thank you to two dedicated PIA volunteers. Renowned auto journalist <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/writers/dan-neil">Dan Neil</a> of the LA Times delivered a rave review of the GM Chevy Volt - and some of his trademark wit. And lastly, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Woolsey">James Woolsey</a> summarized the vital national security requirement for our nation to embrace, develop, and deploy plug-in electric vehicles.

The party also featured a silent auction for green and EV related items, including a <a href="http://www.duffyboats.com/">Duffy Electric Boat</a> rental, a <a href="http://www.zeromotorcycles.com/">2009 Zero X Electric Motorcycle</a>, and a beautiful blue <a href="http://www.vectrixusa.com/">2008 Vectrix Electric Maxi-Scooter</a> (from <a href="http://www.delamo-motorsports.com/">Delamo Motorsports</a> in Redondo Beach). <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/vectrix/ElectricMaxi-Scooter/2007.03.16VectrixDemo/VectrixDemo.html">Click here to see my Vectrix Electric Maxi-Scooter</a> coverage from March 2007.

One of our favorite guests from our shoot in Iceland, Bill Dube and his <a href="http://www.killacycle.com/">KillaCycle</a> Team, made headlines this past week in Colorado with a new EV world speed record.

On Thursday October 23rd, 2008, Team <a href="http://www.killacycle.com/">KillaCycle</a> set their latest drag racing world record at <a href="http://www.bandimere.com/">Bandimere Raceway</a>. Rider Scotty Pollacheck piloted the wickedly fast all electric <a href="http://www.a123systems.com/">A123Systems</a> NanoPhosphate battery powered motorcycle down the quarter mile in only 7.89 seconds, ending with a top speed of 168 MPH.

Scotty's run qualifies as a new official <a href="http://www.nedra.com/">NEDRA</a> (National Electric Drag Racing Association) record, vaulting the KillaCycle into the history books as the world's quickest quarter mile electric vehicle of any kind.

The KillaCycle's A123Systems battery pack is comprised of 1,210 type <a href="http://www.a123systems.com/#/products/p1">ANR26650M1</a> cells arranged to deliver 375 VDC. The motorcycle's Hi-Torque Electric motor was adjusted to draw 1850 amps for this particular run.

The automotive and green electric vehicle blogosphere has been abuzz with talk of the <a href="http://www.minispace.com/en_us/projects/electric-mini-e/">BMW MINI E</a> ever since July 9th, 2008, when <a href="http://www.autobloggreen.com/2008/07/09/500-electric-minis-coming-to-california/">AutoblogGreen published the rumor</a> that 500 of the intriguing new electric cars would be released later this year in California. Chris Paine's docudrama "<a href="http://www.whokilledtheelectriccar.com/">Who Killed the Electric Car</a>" has raised awareness that plug-in electric vehicles are possible, and the demand for plug-in electric vehicles has never been higher. During the past couple of years the American driving public has witnessed how dependent they are of gasoline, and vulnerable to rapidly increasing energy prices. The biggest obstacle for those who would prefer an alternative has been lack of purchasable plug-in electric vehicles since 2003 when auto manufacturers ceased production of plug-in EVs like the GM EV1, Honda EV Plus, and Toyota RAV4-EV.

[caption id="attachment_838" align="alignright" width="240" caption="Amazing AC Propulsion eBoxes at AltCarExpo Saturday, September 27th, 2008."]<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/acp-eboxes_altcarexpo.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-838" title="acp-eboxes_altcarexpo" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/acp-eboxes_altcarexpo-400x299.jpg" alt="Amazing AC Propulsion eBoxes at AltCarExpo Saturday, September 27th, 2008." width="240" height="179" /></a>[/caption]

While the past couple of years have been full of news about future plug-in electric vehicles arriving in 2010, BMW plans to leap frog ahead of all automakers on the electrification front by releasing 500 all electric plug-in MINIs at the end of 2008. From the news that has been trickling in along with a <a href="http://www.press.bmwgroup.com/pressclub/us02.nsf/fwPressemeldungFrame?readform&amp;docid=7F5F361A09612BCCC12574E500783F6E">BMW October 18th, 2008 press release</a>, these MINI Es will be worthy electric vehicles. I've been eagerly reading the flurry of blog entries and ongoing <a href="http://www.autobloggreen.com/2008/10/18/la-preview-officially-official-the-mini-e-does-it-use-a-tesl/">speculation on the MINI E</a>. Per BMW's press release the MINI E will be motivated by a 150kW electric drive system with a range of 150 miles per charge and a top speed of 95 mph. The battery pack is comprised of 5,088 lithium-ion cells for a cummulative 35kWhrs of energy storage. These specifications sound strikingly similar to the electric drive and energy storage system found in the very impressive <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/ebox/">AC Propulsion eBox</a> electric vehicles which also sport a 5,088 lithium-ion cell battery with 35kWhrs of capacity. Both BMW's press release and <a href="http://www.gizmag.com/all-electric-mini-los-angeles-auto-show/10229/">Gizmag</a> allude to an accelerator pedal based regeneration braking system. Other than <a href="http://www.vectrix.com/">Vectrix</a> electric motorcycles which have a <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/vectrix/ElectricMaxi-Scooter/2007.03.16VectrixDemo/VectrixDemo.html#DAaRT">DAaRT (Deceleration, Acceleration and Regenerative Throttle) system</a>, the only vehicles I know that have phenomenal accelerator based regen are those equipped with <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/tzero/">AC Propulsion's fabulous AC150gen2 electric drive system</a>.

[caption id="attachment_840" align="alignright" width="240" caption="AC Propulsion&#39;s 0-60mph in 3.6 second li-ion powered tzero."]<a href="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/acp-tzero_full.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-840" title="acp-tzero_full" src="http://revengeoftheelectriccar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/acp-tzero_full-400x322.jpg" alt="AC Propulsion's 0-60mph in 3.6 second li-ion powered tzero." width="240" height="193" /></a>[/caption]

Could it be that BMW has seen the brilliance in AC Propulsion's decades of electric drive system engineering and refinement and teamed with them in order to produce these 500 fantastic electric MINIs? This would be wonderful news as AC Propulsion is the gold standard when it comes to electric drive technology. How impressive is AC Propulsion electric drive genius? A perfect example is the licensing of <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/">AC Propulsion</a>'s core electric drive technology to <a href="http://www.teslamotors.com/">Tesla Motors</a> for use in their beautiful Tesla Roadster. The Tesla Roadster represents the evolution of AC Propulsion's 12 year old <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/tzero/">tzero</a> which in 2002 pioneered the use of lithium-ion batteries (6,800 cells) demonstrating 0-60mph acceleration times in the 3.6 second range.

If in fact <a href="http://www.acpropulsion.com/">AC Propulsion</a> is involved with the <a href="http://www.minispace.com/en_us/projects/electric-mini-e/">MINI E project</a>, this would confirm the electric MINIs will be wonderful high performance and modern plug-in electric vehicles. AC Propulsion after all has been involved in the development of the modern electric vehicle from the late 1980s having engineered the Power Electronics Unit for the original <a href="http://www.stefanoparis.com/piaev/ev1/ev1.html">GM EV1</a> Impact prototype. If my speculation holds true congratulations are due both to BMW and AC Propulsion. We'll know soon enough when we get the opportunity to see the debut of the all electric plug-in MINI E in November 2008 at the <a href="http://www.laautoshow.com/">Los Angeles Auto Show</a>.

<em>A NEW EXPERIENCE - DRIVING PLEASURE WITHOUT EMISSIONS: THE MINI E 10/18/2008</em>

<em>Woodcliff Lake, NJ - October 18, 2008... The BMW Group will be the world's first manufacturer of premium automobiles to deploy a fleet of some 500 all-electric vehicles for private use in daily traffic. The MINI E will be powered by a 150 kW (204 hp) electric motor fed by a high-performance rechargeable lithium-ion battery, transferring its power to the front wheels via a single-stage helical gearbox nearly without a sound and entirely free of emissions. Specially engineered for automobile use, the battery technology will have a range of more than 240 kilometers, or 150 miles. The MINI E will initially be made available to select private and corporate customers as part of a pilot project in the US states of California, New York and New Jersey. The possibility of offering the MINI E in Europe as well is currently being considered. The MINI E will give its world premiere at the Los Angeles Auto Show on November 19 and 20, 2008.</em>

<em>The MINI E's electric drive train produces a peak torque of 220 Newton meters, delivering seamless acceleration to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 8.5 seconds. Top speed is electronically limited to 152 km/h (95 mph). Featuring a suspension system tuned to match its weight distribution, the MINI E sports the brand's hallmark agility and outstanding handling.</em>

<em>By introducing the MINI E, the BMW Group is underscoring the resolve with which it works towards reducing energy consumption and emissions in road traffic. The BMW Group is drawing on its unique technological expertise in the field of drive systems to develop a vehicle concept enabling zero emissions without renouncing the joy of driving. Putting some 500 cars on the road under real daily traffic conditions will make it possible to gain widely applicable hands-on experience. Evaluating these findings will generate valuable know-how, which will be factored into the engineering of mass-produced vehicles.</em>

<em>The BMW Group aims to start series production of all-electric vehicles over the medium term as part of its Number ONE strategy. The development of innovative concepts for mobility in big-city conurbations within the scope of "project i" has a similar thrust, as its objective also includes making use of an all-electric power train.</em>

<em>The energy storage unit: cutting-edge lithium-ion technology engineered specifically for use in the MINI.</em>

<em>Based on the current MINI, the car will initially be available as a two-seater. The space taken up by back-seat passengers in the series model has been reserved for the lithium-ion battery. When in use in the zero-emissions MINI, the battery unit combines high output with ample storage capacity and a small footprint with power ratios that are unrivalled in this field of application so far. The lithium-ion storage unit will have a maximum capacity of 35 kilowatt hours (kWh) and transmit energy to the electric motor as direct current at a nominal 380 volts. The rechargeable battery is made up of 5,088 cells grouped into 48 modules. These modules are packaged into three battery elements that are compactly arranged inside the MINI E.</em>

<em>The energy storage unit's basic components are based on the technological principle that has proven itself in practice in power supplies for mobile phones and portable computers. The MINI E's lithium-ion battery can be plugged into all standard power outlets. Its charge time is strongly dependent on the voltage and amperage of the electricity flowing through the grid. In the USA, users can recharge a battery that has been completely drained within a very short period of time using a wallbox that will ship with every MINI E. The wallbox will be installed in the customer's garage, enable higher amperage, and thus provide for extremely short charging times. Wallboxes fully recharge batteries after a mere two-and-a-half hours.</em>

<em>Driven by electricity: reliably, affordably and free of emissions.</em>

<em>A full recharge draws a maximum of 28 kilowatt hours of electricity from the grid. Based on the car's range, a kilowatt hour translates into 5.4 miles. Besides the benefit of zero-emissions driving, the MINI E thus offers significant economic advantages over a vehicle powered by a conventional internal combustion engine as well.</em>

<em>The heavy-duty battery delivers its power to an electric motor, which transforms it into thrilling agility. Mounted transversely under the MINI E's bonnet, the drive train unleashes its full thrust from a dead standstill. This provides for the car's fascinating launch capability. The MINI E's intense driving experience is augmented by its dynamic deceleration potential, which is also directly coupled to the accelerator pedal. As soon as the driver releases the gas pedal, the electric motor acts as a generator. This results in braking force, and the power recovered from the kinetic energy is fed back to the battery. This interaction ensures extremely comfortable drives ?Äì especially at medium speed with constant, but marginal, variation. In city traffic, some 75 percent of all deceleration can be done without the brakes. Making substantial use of this energy recuperation feature extends the car's range by up to 20 percent.</em>

<em>Signature MINI agility in a new guise.</em>

<em>Weighing in at 1,465 kilograms (3.230 lbs), the MINI E has an even weight distribution. Minor modifications made to the suspension ensure safe handling at all times. The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) system has been adapted to this model's specific wheel loads.</em>

<em>The MINI E's brake system comes with a newly developed electric underpressure pump. Its Electrical Power Assisted Steering (EPS) is the same as the one used in mass-produced MINIs. Both brake and steering assistance react to driving conditions and are thus extremely efficient. Even the air conditioning's electrical compressor only operates if desired or necessary.</em>

<em>Design: unmistakably MINI, undoubtedly new.</em>

<em>At first glance, the MINI E is obviously an iteration of the brand. But its design, which is the blueprint for the zero-emissions two-seater, has been complemented by a number of visual cues that point to its revolutionary drive concept. All of the units produced for the pilot project will have the same paintwork and bear a serial number on their front fenders.</em>

<em>The MINI E's coachwork sports an exclusive combination of metallic Dark Silver on all panels but the roof, which is clad in Pure Silver. What distinguishes the zero-emissions MINI is a specially designed logo in Interchange Yellow, depicting a stylized power plug in the shape of an "E" set against the silver backdrop. It has been applied to the roof, in smaller dimensions to the front and back, to the charger port lid, the dashboard trim, and ?Äì combined with the MINI logo ?Äì to the door jamb, in slightly modified form. The color of the roof edges, mirror housings, interior style cues and seat seams will match the logo's yellow tone as well.</em>

<em>Moreover, the central gauge and the battery level indicator behind the wheel of the MINI E, which replaces the MINI's rev counter, feature yellow lettering against a dark grey background. The battery level is displayed in percentage figures. The central gauge includes an LED display indicating power consumption in red and power recuperation in green.</em>

<em>MINI E customers will be part of a pioneering mission.</em>

<em>A 500-unit, limited-production MINI E series will be manufactured through the end of 2008. The project will thus attain an order of magnitude that clearly exceeds the size of currently comparable test series. Putting the MINI E on the road on a daily basis will be a pioneering feat to which both the drivers and engineers of the first zero-emissions MINI will contribute as a team.</em>

<em>MINI E customers will join forces with BMW Group experts to assist in the project's scientific evaluation. MINI E engineers accord high importance to staying in touch with the drivers on a regular basis, as this will help them analyze driver behavior besides vehicle characteristics in order to gain the most accurate and realistic picture of the demands placed on a vehicle with a purely electrical drive in the select usage areas.</em>

<em>Special charging station and full service for every MINI E.</em>

<em>The cars will change hands based on a one-year lease with an extension option. Monthly lease installments will cover any required technical service including all necessary maintenance and the replacement of wearing parts. At the end of the lease, all of the automobiles belonging to the project will be returned to the BMW Group's engineering fleet where they will be subjected to comparative tests.</em>

<em>The MINI E's lithium-ion battery can be charged using a wallbox provided to MINI customers. Only lockable garages or similar buildings will qualify as homebases and power stations for the MINI E.</em>

<em>Maintenance by qualified specialists.</em>

<em>The electric drive's high-voltage technology requires that maintenance work be done by qualified personnel using special tools that are not included in MINI service partners' standard toolboxes. In light of this, a service base will be set up on both coasts, staffed by service engineers that are specially trained to perform maintenance and repair work on the MINI E's electrical components. In the event of drive malfunction, these experts will provide professional support at the customer's local MINI dealer or the service base's specially equipped workshop. Technical inspections will take place after 3,000 miles (just under 5,000 kilometers) and at least after six months.</em>

<em>Production in Oxford and Munich.</em>

<em>The MINI E has already gone through the major phases of product development for mass-produced vehicles and passed numerous crash tests on the way. Aspects investigated besides passenger protection were the impact of collision forces on the lithium-ion battery and finding a non-hazardous location for it in the car. The MINI E's energy storage unit emerged completely unscathed from all of the crash tests mandated by US standards, which are especially high.</em>

<em>Production of the approximately 500 cars will take place at the company's Oxford and Munich sites and is scheduled for completion before the end of 2008. MINI's UK plant will be responsible for manufacturing the entire vehicle with the exception of the drive components and the lithium-ion battery, with the brand's series models rolling off its assembly lines concurrently. The units will then be transferred to a specially equipped manufacturing complex situated on BMW plant premises where the electric motor, battery units, performance electronics and transmission will be integrated.</em>
